Even more hilarious now I can't even get this gmail account removed from my computer as it keeps saying this account is connected to something. Not sure what the hell it is talking about as I have removed it before, but now with the mail issues I am having and trying to remove the account craps everything out. What do I need to do a clean install? Do I just need to download Mavericks to my external drive or do I need to create a bootable thing of some kind, don't remember the steps and today things have gotten so bad and have restarted the computer five times and it isn't fixing it, so considering I am on deadline for an article to say I'm a little pissed off since I need to use gmail for this article is an understatement.
