    This update erased my HD! It messed up everything! Damn you Apple! I'm going to buy a PC tomorrow!

    I just thought I'd get that out of the way. Nothing to see here, move along.

      That's because there was a space character in your Hard drive's name. This is a known problem, and will be fixed shortly.

  2. 10.2.6 totally screwed my system! I hate Apple by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Funny

    Ok, not really, but I figured I'd get it out of the way now because somebody is going to say it...happens every time with every point release.

    Anyway, 10.2.6 update went fine on my Ti Ghz. All systems go and everything normal. Of course, everything was fine before the update too. I notice no difference in casual use.

    Why is it called 'repair permissions', when it actually runs a slew of other tests like fsck?

    Because, due to the nature of the marketing of this product, it's made to be "Grandma Friendly".

    Doesn't "Repair Permissions" sound better than "I'm gonna do a whole bunch of shit to your hard drive right about now buddy. You sure you want to do this?"?

    hear hear. notimeout is to my mind essential for dialup folk. course, Cox should be out sometime today to turn on my cable connection and I'll be able to get on with life again.
