Wow - Super Bug in OSX
Posted by: garyi on 12 November 2004
Yup, I finally found something really bad.
Was trying to help someone on line with an issue where they had ditched their system folder into the trash.
I exclaimed, 'not possible!'
And tried it myself....
Well basically once it hit the trash the finder crashed so I couldn't retrive it, and so here I am on a likkle imac 233 (I have it here ready to go to a friend) and waiting patiently whilst the system is reinstalled.
I would call this a major bug, OK it did ask me for password, but why the hell did it let me distch the very system that was running, can you imagine the feedback loop it got from that LOL!
So basically OSX users do not put your system folder in the trash for a larf, because it ain't.

I^H He isn't working for anyone at the moment. Perhaps there is a connection?
