    Spring Cleaning 10.0 is the latest version from Smith Micro. It can be downloaded or sent on CD for $49.99 (relatively cheap) or you can check Limewire or Bit Torrent and you might be able to get it for free.

    What exactly do you do with spring cleaning? I know there are maintenance things I should be doing to maximize my mac but I'm not up on that kind of thing. Any special hints?

    It found 14000 duplicates. I spent 3 hours getting rid of and analyzing and then restored it back to original state cuz i gor scared. With Itunes and Iphoto I never realized they weren't aliases in my libraries folders, they are actual duplicates.

    The best thing I did was clear my computer cache took 5 min but it did it properly and I noticed a marked speed difference.

    14,000? That's what I'm afraid I'd find too. I'm always scared to delete anything!

    Three things:

    1) I got one of the relatively new Magic Mouses for my birthday and I like it a lot. I wish it had four-button capability like the old Mighty Mouse did, as I now have to go to the function keys for Expose and Dashboard, but the track pad face is spectacularly cool and after two months of use, I still have more than 50% battery power. I give that device an 8/10 overall.

    2) My BIL bought an iPad in Vegas a couple weekends ago and I got to play with it last weekend. It is way cool! The internet on it is unbelievably fast -- it's almost not worth comparing load times from the Pad to my iMac. The iBook function kicks ass as well and the game apps that are already available are super sweet. Add the fact that Apple has way outsold its expected sales targets and I think they have a success on their hands. No, it is not going to replace your laptop -- this device kinda fits into its own little niche between the iPod Touch/iPhone and the MacBook. At the end of the day, I'll be thinking very seriously of getting one when the 3G model shows up in Canada....

    3) For routine maintenance, one of my Mac IT friends recommended OnyX, which is a free download and does a very nice job of cleaning things up (when I remember to run it). Very solid piece of software, and Mac geek approved!

    Downloading OnyX now.

    I played with an IPad as well. You are so right about the internet. I was a little bummed, no flash so thinks like the card room are not possible.

    Apple is banking on HTML5 becoming the new internet standard for web animation and taking over from Flash, which is bloated and notoriously buggy. Consequently, they've refused to support Flash on the iPad and iPhone. They guessed right when they decided to abandon the floppy drive back in the late 90s, although people also thought they were crazy at that time. We'll see in a couple years if they've guessed right on this one as well...
