well, and i want to be the one to point out that testuser posts far more technical help/troubleshooting posts than anyone as far as i can tell. He has a sincere interest in helping others and knows a lot about fixing problems.
of course he is a little too quick to suggest a reformat (linux habit i presume) and i will bet nearly a third of his posts have 'fsck -y' in them
, but he is one of the real front line troopers around here.
(hell, for all i know he could have only had 950 posts when he got up this morning )
oh, and you also get a new nick from me - TU (because testuser is too long to type over and over )

I was pretty quick to reformat my Mac when I first got it (using OS 9). I would reformat it everytime it got screwed up, which happened a lot due to my learning and poking around. There's nothing like booting up to a brand spakin' new OS having to find and install all your old apps.
BTW, what does fsck -y do?

Yup, testuser's definitely has me beat...of course, I tend to pick and choose some days.
Hmm...I wonder how many ex-mil types laughed at that one. You sure you want to propose tango uniform ?Originally posted by Ed Spruiell

excuse my ignorance!! and here i have already posted a toast to him in Herve's B&G using TU.
I don't think he would like Tess much better, testy isn't really right either (although he can be that some mornings ), and test sounds boring. Tester doesn't really shorten it enough and user sounds like dope research. hmm, i'll have to think about this.
i think testuser should explain the fsck -y when he shows up. (or provide a link to where he has already exlained it for the umpteeth time )

testy, there is definitly a side of you that is going to waste in the tech forums. it needs more expression on a regular basis.
but i suggest that rather than cruising the big apple, we head out on the open road and go "Lookin' for kicks on Route 66".
(somewhere i have a photo of me standing next to a sign Arizona that says that )

Uh oh, Ed, time to send him back down to the technical forums.
Can I live in chocolate city too? I assume its a place of diversity: dark, milky, white, bitter-sweet, semi-sweet.
Can I have the tiara next brotha?

Phil, you can go withus, but you gotta ride in the trunk if you start acting up
testy - the problem with the older cars like the one pictured earlier is that they do not have fsck capabilities without considerable modifications that we simply can't afford (unless you let us sell the tiara). So we will just have to run a third party diagnostic scope and hope for the best.
of course if you would like to do the work yourself before we take off, be my guest. after all, nobody fsck's like you do
