But I don't want to! :) I know it would be the best thing, but I'm not looking forward to re-installing and reconfiguring *everything* on the Mac. At least the process has Windows beat - I can grab most of my apps from the App Store, put my services back quite easily, and copy the vast majority of my data from my constantly-updated Time machine backup. Still, what a pain, and all because Mavericks decided to not install correctly. Like Brian, I just have a horrible feeling that I'll do all this work and nothing will change. It can't be because I have aftermarket RAM, can it? The ram worked just fine in 10.8, and I haven't had any sudden crashes that might indicate ram problems.
