There are some automated utilities that I see others using tho. Onyx is one - and I think there\'s a Mountain Lion version of it. There are several others as well. There\'s some sets of shell scripts floating around as well under various names. AppleJacks rings a bell. I think I used it once back on 10.4 maybe. In conjunction with cloning a boot volume over to a RAID set IIRC.

How the hinges on the titanium G4 were near worthless, how incredibly asinine it was to upgrade the G4 Powerbook and all of them up until the Unibody.... etc. How incredibly uncompetitive all Macs were until the Intel transition.
The current state of macs is the best it\'s been in a very long time.
That\'s why I said it\'s been going downhill since 10.4 or so. 10.4 and most of 10.5 was really when they were at their best! Everything worked, everything was rock solid! (comparatively). The complaint department and support forums were full of questions like \"what\'s the best way to rename 1000 files\", \"how do I install the 5th and 6th HDD in the intel MacPro\", or I just upgraded my CPUs to get 8 cores instead of 4 and is 40° C normal?\"... Compare 10.7.5 to 10.5.5 and it\'s OMG time... Bad, bad bad! Now the forums are all about xxx is broked, help unusable mac, how do I fix this shite... and etc.
