Henry,

I did say the update was faulty, probably due to hardware 
configurations not fully tested. Apple pulled it. It IS a faulty update.
But I also do not believe GrandMa is installing hackies over hackies on 
her OS X and she is the one who probably has less problems.
Apple warnings "remove all hackies before updating" probably is not 
addressed to her.

Corrupted privileges is also a problem that Apple recognized. Now, 
ignoring that and never repairing them is as well the user's as well as 
Apple responsibility. They say Panther addressed the issue. Before 
that, ignoring it is not going to help anybody.

Rephrasing flipper arguments, Apple is much more 'for the rest of us' 
than any Windows OS, present of future.
Finally, I was *forced* at work till '97 to use Windows for anything 
but coding. Hence I shiver inside when someone says "Apple is not 
better than Microsoft". But that's me.

Cheers
