kept throwing errors. Turns out he tried to get into his permissions for his
library and jack with them, with the result that he locked his apps out of
being able to access or modify their own preferences and other files.

Apple and Microsoft both appear to assume we are idiots, or use that
assumption to play fast and loose with their customers' rights; honestly
not sure which.
In the Linux world one can go all the way from the "pre-school, kiddy,
moron" type of OS to the
"super, mage, whacked-out nerd" OS; currently I use systems that are
nearer the lower end than the higher . . . :)
