And somewhere, a multi-coloured Apple logo cries ... it cries in happiness as the devout proclaim their minority status to the world!

I have sacrificed an apple keyboard to the altar of user-friendliness and the quaint expressions the serene few have when over-hearing others denigrate and besmirch their boxes of Babel.

Let a thousand icons blossom,
A friendly smile greet on start-up,
The Moo-dog of yesteryear goes "Moof!"
From //e to i, from LC to iMac,
Yea, let it be so,
And somewhere, an apple logo is presented
On screen, flaunting its apostle values
To those initiated in M$ shrines of majority
Yea, let it be so,
For we lucky few, are part of grass roots -
Burt Munro's credo - to do a lot with little.

Amen, do na pacem

Let me guess. You've never used Disk Utility have you Dave?

or fsck'ed your mac from single-user mode?

Permissions repaired - volume needed a touch up too. Just needed pointing right direction.

If I have to 'log out' it's not single user? But I'm the ONLY cahoot that uses it anyway.

[riffer]

Okay...

reboot the mac, hold down Apple-S. This will start the mac in single-user mode. It's like booting into dos on a PC.

If you type fsck -fy at the prompt it will perform a File System Consistency Check. The fy parameters force it to say yes to any queries it may have. Real Unix geeks will say this is bad but TBH it's never caused me grief.

This will clean up any inconsistencies in the File Tables and make your disk a bit happier.

Then just type logout and the mac will go to the nice light blue screen and start up as per normal.

Have a look at Fugu too (http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/) - works over SSH/SFTP so you don't have to send your password in cleartext AND the admin doesn't need to bother with an FTP server.

Aye that he is, dogcow be the correct appellation and moo-dog was just a transubstantive metaphor about the vagaries that surround the world of Apple computing! (Moo = MU = Multiple User ... oh fergeddaaboutit! )

Moof! Moof!

Since when has Mac OS been Multi User? Only since OS X, and that's Unix anyway [/geek]

[Big Dave]

What's another word for transubstantive metaphor?

Was that after 9.2 ?

As opposed to Windows 'Mullet'.

And if you can't be arsed, the short spiel is ... it's what you make of it!

'pologies again for the juxaposition of religion with different OS's .... thought it was apt analogy!

Moof!
