Yeah and I had a bad moment when it asked me if I wanted unencrypt and restart. I knew I wanted to unencrypt and restart, so I said yes. I thought it was to unencrypt first, but no. Then I thought I would get unlucky and get that screen again demanding my password. That's what got me in trouble before. Then when it did come up, it said Dropbox had no Windows. Well, who cares about Dropbox right now. Anyway, I had to close System Preferences and restart it again so I could find out about my progress. Maybe I better get some more coffee.
For anybody who has been criticizing Apple lately, they have been real nice to me.
