I tried to forestall that question by saying "But sometimes for
instance I replace a machine ...." I guess I should have made the thought
more conspicuous -- and maybe also mentioned that I sometimes bollix a
machine up so badly that a fresh install is the easier or the only
alternative.
Last week, for instance, I managed to so foo a brand new laptop
that anything I did on the login screen killed it. (I'd've tried a repair
if I'd been able to remember how to boot straight into single user, or
find out again how. I spent a few days trying, and then just put the
install disc back into it. <sigh>)
