My computer was running a bit slow recently so I did some research on how to pick it up again, and in the process I came across a program called OnyX.  Wowee, it’s awesome!

It can do all of those little bits and bobs that you should be regularly doing to maintain your computer, and it can even schedule things for you too.  But only if you want, you can pick and choose whatever you want to do at any given time, it’s not all or nothing.

For example, it can check and repair file permissions, clear your cache (users, internet, fonts, logs), change your preferences and parameters, check the status of your hard drive, execute maintenance scripts, and even empty your trash for you!

If you have a Mac and haven’t checked out OnyX yet, give it a go – it’s free!
