The reason the trash was taking so long to empty was most likely because when erasing the files, it was zero'ing out those sectors on your HDD, instead of just marking them to be overwritten.
It's much more secure to zero out your files when erasing them, but if you have no reason too then don't worry about it. :)

i don't understand the whole mac vs pc argument. everyone says it as a windows vs mac thing. linux anyone?
btw, snow leopard downgrades your version of flash to an older exploitable one, thusly opening up your "bug free" super amazing mac to whatever a hacker wants to do you. http://www.securityfocus.com/brief/1007?ref=rss
Macs are pretty and yah they do photoshop very well, but they are NOT more secure and it is sad that people make that an argument. Everything is pretty damn badOriginally posted by george graves
Are you kidding me? That nerd doesn't even know how his dick works, let alone a car.

Mac OS X is based upon the Mach kernel.[8] Certain parts from FreeBSD's and NetBSD's implementation of Unix were incorporated in Nextstep, the core of Mac OS X.Last edited by zav3n; 09-08-2009, 01:16 PM.

these are the 2 most reoccurring issues im having with it. anyone else? anyone know any tricks? is this fixable? ie through settings? if so hook a Mac noob up!
Congrats Mac owners, you've just upgraded to Windows Vista.
