Instead of reinstalling Mac OS X try creating a new user account to see if you have the same problems on that. You will still have all your old stuff on the other account, but if it corrects the problem you’ll have a fresh account to do all your editing on. Even if it doesn’t help you’ll still have your other account to go back to. You’ll also want to repair permissions if you haven’t done that in a while and download and run the latest combo updater from Apple. This will usually correct problems at the system level because it replaces all the files included in each update if a system resource is corrupt or missing the combo update will fix it and hopefully correct your problem.
Remember, if you do get a new iMac that comes with Leopard, you will not be able to install it on your old iMac with the included disk. So if you plan on upgrading your old machine eventually you might as well get an iMac now and upgrade later. Just keep it sparse as far as vital data is concerned, that will keep the time it takes to get it back to the old state to a minimum. Then you’ll be able to start migrating data and then repurpose your old iMac to be a file server or something.
Great job on the hat, Father.
Hi Father,
In today’s Daily Breakfast, you mention all the audio recording you did in France last year while on vacation. Were those Catholic Insider episodes that I somehow missed? I would love to hear them!
Hi Father,
The pain in your calf sounds very familiar to my own story. I had a pain in my calf before the half, then I ran the half without any pain, but it came back. I had to walk most of the marathon because my calf started hurting at mile 2! My advice is to do specific exercises for your calf. And do them religiously!! I still haven’t fully recovered, and my marathon was last February!
is that associated with last Sunday’s Gospel:
“for him you slaughter the fattened calf?”
LOL! Believe me, my fattened calf has been slaughtered!
