Q: My MS word has been slowing down a lot. So I went to the Genius and he said it was OK. But it is not. Today I was looking for a word file and hit "recent"and then opened files for the last week. Half of them--about 20--were "debug.log" files. Is this bad?

    The log files are just text files. Most likely the Genius was opening them to test Word, and read through the logs at the same time to look for issues that may have told him something about your Mac's performance. I would assume he didn't find anything out of the ordinary and handed your Mac back to you.
