Hi,

There is no need to defrag a Mac.  The Mac does its own optimizing in the 
middle of the night, on the weekend and another one once a moth.  Just don't 
turn off the computer and it will do everything by itself.  It doesn't hurt to 
go into Disk Utility and do a Repair Disk Permissions once in a while.  It can 
improve performance if things have got out of whack, once a month is more then 
frequent enough.

With respect to Word Processors, Pages does work fine although there are some 
things that can be frustrating, but then again, one can get frustrated with 
Word on the PC as well.

Later...

Hi all,
In fact my friend Rita wishes to join the list.  I am including her address in 
the to field hoping a mod can subscribe her.  I wrote privately about this a 
while back, but it seems she still cannot join.
for the moment though I am going to post her questions and share the answers.
she has snow leopard, 10.6.8, running on a mac mini.

She wants to clean up her disc.  Forgive me if this seems strange, but I have 
never read of anyone needing to run defrag on their mac, but such is her goal.  
needful?  if so, how is it best done?
its all mac, no virtual box with windows.
Her next question is one  know that gets asked allot, so think in terms of her 
specific edition of snow leopard.
best voiceover friendly word processor?  I know there is a recent edition of 
open office, how is iworks these days?  She is a professional writer, so I 
think needs more than textedit.
I recall a person posting an entirely different writing program in fact?

Thanks for the house wisdom usual,
Karen
