It's really good see bad opnion about Mac/Apple, the general opnion is fanatic about Mac/Apple. (I'm thinking to buy a MacBook) ;) Do you come to PyConBrasil 3 ?

At home I only have Macs. Since OS9 I never had problems using the software update that I remember (and this sw-update-bricked-my-mac is surely something even I would remember). That said, I still believe that all this computing is _way_ too complex -- oh well. Good luck! Hmm,

Just kidding Sidney ;) By the way, AFAIK, you did not install the os on that machine, you just add your user to it, i never trust pre-installed os. If you install it you can also save many GB of useles print drivers... At tomster.org you can read something about having your Home in a different partition, it may help you in future problems with OSX. Good luck. See you.

Apple seems to screw up so frequently on updates that the 99% of the recommendations suggest that using Apple Software Update is recipe for doom. Well, if that's the case, why don't they just disable it? I never had an issue with a Windows Service Pack that would render my computer useless. Apple really needs to take a clue and improve their QA. Not entirely true.
