less of an issue with OSX. Made a huge difference with OS9 to
the extent that Avid required it and it was a really good idea
with Paris.

Not consumers.
not at all...
DCIn the car biz, if you are going to make a car and put it on
the market, you have to provide parts for 10 years. It's
a legal requirement.
Now, I am a free enterprise guy, but it sounds like a good idea
to me...

the whole disk and all the files in several places. OK,
let's go for it.
11:00am -- Partition Trauma -- you know what? It's really hard to erase a
perfectly healthy computer even if you think you're going to make it better.
What a painful thing to have to do. But, after a short prayer to the computer
gods, I erased and GUID partitioned the drive. The process was very fast
-- sort of like ripping a band-aid off a cut. It only hurt for a second.
11:15am -- The Leopard Install Redux -- just as promised, about 40 minutes
later, OS X 10.5 Leopard was installed on my computer. Visually, it is slightly
different from OS X 10.4 Tiger. My first impression was that the newly translucent
top menu bar was going to bother me forever. It probably will.
01:00pm -- The Fun Begins -- It took an hour to copy the .dmg file to my
empty Leopard computer. I mounted the disk image and then shift-double-clicked
it. The image dramatically increased in size then faded away. In its place
was an open directory that looked exactly like my old Macintosh HD directory.
Perfect. A quick reboot and I'll be done.

01:04pm -- WTF? You know you would not be reading this article if this trick
worked. It didn't. You also know that the definition of insanity is doing
the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. I tried
the shift-double-click trick about four more times while I dialed Apple tech
support to try to get into the queue.
02:14pm -- Apple Tech Support, an Oxymoron -- If my first tech support person
had a thick foreign accent, I don't even know how to describe the language
this gentleman spoke. After I described my problem to him he said, "I am
not qualified to help you, you must talk to Level 2 tech support. Can I put
you in their queue? The wait time will be about 15 minutes." The line magically
disconnected after 30 minutes forcing me to call back and go through the
process again.
The songs they play on hold at Apple Tech support are not for everybody.
I'm being overly polite.
04:32pm -- Level 2 Tech Support -- I have a new best friend at Apple, her
name is Dawn. English is absolutely her first language and she could not
have been nicer on the phone. There was only one problem. She had no idea
why Leopard would not permanently mount this disk image. In fact, she told
me a story about her Friday evening Leopard experience. Truthfully, I'm
