    Disk Defrag

    I routinely run verify/repair disk permissions and notice that there is usually a considerable amount of repair needed. Why do these permissions get corrupted at such a high rate? What part of the OS is supposed to set them in the first place and why does it get it wrong so often? Just curious

    Trash crash

    Thanks for the step-by-step on using the terminal. Unfortunately it lead to the same result: the moment I hit return after my password I got the gray screen.
