we all sometimes want a brick when installing new hardware or software. at that point, it's best to take a break, read the instructions carefully, ask questions and hang in there. i usually have good luck with installs, but there are always those occasional hiccups. i've also downloaded things on the web and had them turn out to be corrupted in subtle ways that weren't detected by the usual error detection schemes, especially with the 9.2 upgrade that i had problems with on the first 3 attempts! and problems that just made it not work properly. i even compared the files to verify that the download that worked was different than the bad ones.
large software downloads over the phone lines is a perilous thing, i sometimes have the same problem with .pdf files. corrupt when i try to open them, and have to download again. patience and a cool head are what's needed when trouble shooting. once the blood pressure rises rational thought is unlikely, and computers are usually a rational thing, usually. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
