I use Ableton Live (in studio and performance) and the idea of this bad boy farting out on me live...

    As an AW3 LTE owner who is thinking of upgrading to AW4 LTE, it occurred to me that when the Series 5 is released my AW3 LTE will suffer a sharper resale decline than other watches have done during previous release cycles.

    Is a clean install faster than upgrade?

    I have a Mac mini 2009 late, this is also my first Mac. I upgrade it from Maverick to El Capitan, I think its speed is too slow and I want to know: If I clean install El Capitan again, will the speed be faster than now in general?
