Hi everyone, Okay, I've become sufficiently frustrated to consider doing a clean install of Lion. Safari has become almost unusable... so many Safari busy's that it's too frustrating. When I do a spotlight search, and press enter on the result I want, I always end up in the result above the one I wanted. I'm not sure what's going on, but I need to try a clean install to see if I can remedy this. If I can't, I'm seriously considering selling my Mac and going back to Windows. Can someone give me simple instructions on how to do a clean install of Lion? I didn't save the install file when I first upgraded to Lion back in July. If I copy my Applications folder to an external drive, can I just copy the folder back and have all my applications there after the clean install, or do I need to re-install each application? Is there a way to save all my emails? Anything else I need to think about?
