system maintenance is tiring

Virus definitions, Windows updates, scandisk, cleanup, defrag, upgrades etc etc.. scheduling these is real work ?
Do you guys agree with me, maintenance of system is tedious job ?

Amen!

But it is a hobby. The end result of having a clean system is what we're after right?

That's a real helpful notion. Using this logic:

I hate painting my house.. so live in a car.
Getting my hair cut each week is a chore... so become a hippie.
Changing the oil in my car is a pain... so ride a bike.

I hope you are catching my hidden message: sure there are alternatives, but they are always worse.

Enjoy your "maintenance free" Mac.
