When does the Mac magic happen?
17/08/11 08:12 AM

I use an imac and Logic setup for audio. I know bugger all about Macs as computers.

People often remark that a key advantage of macs is that they are more self-maintaining than PCs in terms of defrags etc. I recall someone suggesting that leaving a Mac switched on for a long period of time allows the machine to sort itself out in terms of background tasks. Is this the case?
