Yikes, $150!

I'll gladly pick myself up an iSight for that cash and perform a weekly
search and destroy of those invis. files myself. How hard is it to do a
search for ".ds_" and simply delete-all? Took all of about 10 minutes to
complete on 3 - 100Gig servers last week...

Sorry I don't have further info on trashing the problematic files mentioned
below, maybe log in as 'root' and do it? Or if you know any unix you could
superuser yourself in Terminal and remove them that way.
