In a networked system. unless you have a strict and rigid, HMFIC, 'IS', 'Hitler" ... folks tend to install little tid bits off their MacAddict Disks. Upgrading all the little shareware, freeware, netware, nightmare, underwear programs, with associated extensions and control Panels is a !@#$%. 'Spring Cleaning' all the Orphaned, Preferences, extensions, goofy Fonts and other such drivel ... left on the disk after 'Demo'ing games, etc. and then merely pulling the program folder to the trash, wastes more hours on each machine. If you've ever been in a networked, MicroSuck "Broken" Winder or DEC environment; OS System upgrades can be as helter skelter as 'Fathers Day in shanty town'.
