Every time a new OS X comes out, I get a phone call/email from my friends saying “errr….. hey bro, I installed the new OS X and my machine’s acting up. What’s going on?”
80% of the time these symptoms are curable. But I’ve definitely had fun trying to fix the impossible. Sometimes, for one reason or an another, a system update can cause your production system to die, and requires a tedious process of recovering and reconstructing your OS environment.
As Leopard release nears, I thought I’d remind everyone about the importance of backing up your system. Leopard is actually supposed to fix this with the built-in automatic backup system called Time Machine. However, even Time Machine can’t help you if your OS gets screwed up in the process of upgrading to Leopard. Please read my post on aqua211.com and consider backing up your system before upgrading to Leopard.
