I am not lecturing, but running a plain, vanilla system, always works best. Just run Software Update under the Apple menu periodically (or set Preferences to do it automatically), and keep your OS and your apps updated. Resist the urge to modify and install third-party stuff, no matter what it may be.

I have to agree. I tried downloading a couple programs for recording voice to use during lectures in class a few weeks ago. Both of them resulted in my browsers crashing while using the website where I turn in my math homework. It did this in all 3 of the browsers I have tried on my Mac, and when I uninstalled the new programs and decided to use Garage Band instead, along with keeping Firefox 3.0 closed, the problems went away.

There are ten other people in my math class with Macs and none of them had these problems. Also, none of them use Firefox 3.0 or have downloaded any funky programs.
