Another great show! My kids’ Mac Mini was booting to a blue screen (not the Windows screen of death). The login screen would not come up. I had recently installed AppleJack, so I booted with ^S, ran AppleJack and all everything was fine after that.

You guys are all very kind. It was great to have such an expert as Steve on the show. Look for a monthly show with Steve on Maintenance and repair starting first Sunday in April. Thanks Steve from the http://themacattack.us/

I thought this was a fantastic show and look forward to similar ones in the future.
What would be helpful is if a file could be created that shows a recommended maintenance schedule i.e., what should be done daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually. In addition, this file could show the various tools (free and share) to help do this maintenance.
Just a suggestion…

I agree with DonQ. That would be very helpful.
