hi all. I know it is a weird subject line, but when you are done reading i am sure you are in full agreement with me. But first things first. For some time for what ever reason i installed boom on my mac mini generation II. I dont know but i never got too use it, it is a mini 1 gig of ram, and have as well as all my other macs been raped and brought too hyperventilation on a daily basis with ocring over a 1000 pages books, flying with the flight-simulator, etc. None of that have actually ever brought it too its knees as the story i am about too tell. For a few evenings back i am sitting on irc, chatting, having a grand and cheerful time, when my mac suddenly stops, not just stops but shots totally down like 3...2...1...off. Too a new mac user this, indeed might look like the order of things, right? but no, actually not , we are still and hopefully always will have some sort of unix under the hood so shutting a mac down if it have been running full tilt over a few hours, do actually take time. Much too my amazement i look down, say a few unwritable words, better suited for a us core mariners bar, and hit the poweron botten, there contact! clear prop! so now i sit high and mighty and wait for my trusty mac to do what it does next-best of all things , right? booting up, problem is, i wait, and wait, and wait, and ... yes you got it oh girl am i waitin., i wait! and well after a smoke i am, still, waitin'! okay, i do believe this computer is about 5 or 6 years old,and it have never, ever, done this before. as flighty as i am, and yes i can be pretty flighty i sit back and think. It turns out too make a very long and frustrated story short that boom is indeed the sinner! Lets go alittle back, i said i had installed boom, not actually used it, installed as in copy from image, lay in apps folder, Period.. And i tell you when it expires, all hell breaks loose, not just loose like in a lil labrador waggin' its tail loose, but more like 105 tons of old russian tank down over a hill unstoppable, kinda hell loose. For the trained terminal user it is not a huge problem, you find all references too boom and coldly and with great glee rm them, and that is that. But for the new and untrained mac user, do simply not ever use boom. It is not worth it. And what, have all this too do with a british landrover, ever tried too get one out of a lake, too the trained its childs play, else, dont do this at home...
