Identical is a Mac app that lets you determine whether two different files have the same contents. If I had had a Mac app called Identical installed, however, it could have been a lot less painful. I was able to open them both and ascertain which ones were the correct files, and which were just duplicates. I backed up most of my important files in my email, but I definitely ended up with a couple of files that had the same name. It’s the best thing I ever did for my MacBook: it’s running quieter, cooler, and happier.
Over the weekend, I got my hard drive replaced by a shiny new solid state drive.
