I have an old Mac min that i use in the office, its a few years old but as relaible as hell.

I have a belkin hub and a 250Gb external hard drive for all the business info, but recently i have noticed that the mac is locking up a bit and slowing down, so tidat i was looking through the files and folders on the machine....

25GB of pictures   this is addition to the 75Gb i have on a small WD external unit

Cleared them all off and the little beauty is flying again

yep..a full file system will slow down any machine..

I'm the same, only get to go in the datacentres if its a job we can't do remotely (which for the servers I look after is a fair proportion of the builds fortunately, unlike many of my colleagues).

Believe me system maintenance much better than programming..

its been more than 20 years amd still I continue to carry the hassle of end users and their endless demands ..
