Ok, I love my Mac, I am good with computers, but I have been using OS X for less then...hm....four months i think? So here is my question...I know that uninstall and install are as easy as drag and drop, but is there a good program for making sure all the files a program uses are gone too?

The files used by the program are typically installed in the /Applications/FILE.APP folder. Yeah, that's a FOLDER. Check it out from the command line, and you'll see. You might also find the USER-SPECIFIC stuff in /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support
That's pretty much it. You can waste a lot of time tracking stuff down, but that's where the stuff sits. If you let us know what program you're talking about, we might be able to help more.

No problem. If you have questions about that kind of stuff, just let us know. We kinda like mac's around here.

Thanks I'll definatly keep that in mind. I am loving how easy it is to do pretty much anything in OS X. So much better then Windows.
