[EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit: >At the least, anyone who are willing to play with them should >be aware the potential conflict. I totally agree with you on this. But my original message was to say that although it _can_ do bad things, it doesn't do them in any case. I think one should not prevent himself from trying Unsanity products because of the "can damage your computer" idea... If he/she does, then he(she'd better never try any app at all... d'you know what I mean?
>By 'behind your back', I meant ape is running while you're >not aware of it. Ok... but (nor sure of this!) doesn't the installer tell you, when you first open the PrefPane panel, that a deamon has to be installed? If I remember well, it says that the Unsanity APE has to be installed... >it left some files and a directory in the system. I *think* >I saw aped demon kept running after the uninstallation but >I'm not sure. Actually I never tried to uninstall a Unsanity product, so you might just be right on this. They may have forgetten to put it away. I'll email one of the Unsanity guys and ask them. I'll keep everybody on the list informed of the reply. >IMO, >When an application does not do what it is supposed to do, the >most reliable way to tell whether the application is to be >blamed or not is to reinstall the system and start afresh. Well, it's the most reliable way, that's for sure... But not the only way, I guess... and not the quickest way either... :-) >In >classic [<- I hate the word btw] MacOS, we can examine >extensions one at a time, but we cannot do that anymore with >OSX. In that sense OSX is more fragile than old MacOS and less >manageable as a personal computer. If I remember well, one can load and unload deamons and kernel extensions one by one from a Terminal... But one has to know unix commands... which the "usual end-user" can be unaware of, I admit. I don't think that Mac OS X is more manageable as a personal computer. It might be for a non-experienced user, but once you get into it, you are able to personnalize much more things than what you could in older OSes.
