[Info-vax] OT: For MAC Lovers Only :-)

[Bill Gunshannon]

As there are so many MAC lovers and Windows haters here I just couldn't
resist this.

One of the things I now have time to do is play with all my old computers.
A bunch of them are Classic MAC's.  Needless to say, some of them are
having a hard time getting into the mood torun again after all these
years sitting on a shelf.

I went out looking for advice on what might need to be done and this is
one of the things I found.

----------------------

Uh-oh: You see a blinking folder or disk icon, and the Mac refuses to
start up.

This blinking icon is the Mac's way of telling you that it can't
find the System software it needs to start up.

Treatment 7: Perform a clean install.
If the drive appears to work but its System Folder refuses to boot your Mac, perform a clean install of your System software. 

------------------------

And here I have always been led to believe this was a Windows only solution.
