My iMac is reaching over 3 years old and I have never done a Erase and Reinstall on it so I have upgraded OS over the years and added and deleted apps etc. Photo editing etc.

But today I have though about over the weekend doing a Erase and a Refresh install of Maverick and apps I have settled on. Will this make it speedy again as this has started to slow a bit now. Not very slow but a tag slow. Never know a Reinstall make be just the same speed just wondering what do I expect??

I can't believe it as if this as a PC i be formatting it every 6 month as that what I had to do when i was in the dark side....
 
Just wondering would I actually see a speed increase or it my mind playing me up in thinking the iMac has slow down?? I don't want to go through all the hassle and don't see a difference.

Also am I right it no good restoring from Time Machine after as it just put the computer back to how it was?

means et cetera, when you write out a list and you generally know the other person knows what sort of items would be in that list you put e.t.c at the end.

Your outlining the items they don't know about but don't go into huge amounts of detail on every single item.

For example.

To make a cake you need eggs, flour, butter, caster sugar, baking powder e.t.c

So I am assuming you know you are going to need a work surface, cake tin, rolling pin and so on.

That's et cetera, I know what that means, e.t.c. Implies it's an acronym as et is a single word so doesn't need the stops.

For example: I like cake, e.t.c. (even that cake).
