This morning has been extremely frustrating. It started early this morning when our activities were interrupted by the trash truck. Then I had Mac issues. I am pissed because I wanted to add Classic support to my OS X 10.4 Tiger PowerBook, so I got out my Software Restore DVD and installed Software Restore and when it ran, it kept telling me to insert my first Software Restore disk. I thought to myself umm okay, it’s already in there! So I ejected it and reinserted it. No help. I was too busy to look into the issue so I put it off to the side until I had a lull until and did a search thru the Apple Support Database. I found an article that basically says that if your Software Restore disk is 10.2, it won’t run in Tiger. Sure enough my disk is 10.2.7 and we all know it’s Tiger. So what to do, well Apple says… reinstall 10.2, install Classic and then upgrade to 10.4. WHAT? I hate upgrades. This is not good. So I decide I’ll do a little test and I’ll install to my new USB 2.0 Drive and see if it does what I need before messing with my system. Sounds good right? Sadly there is only one problem… You can’t boot off a USB 2.0 Drive. Firewire only. Ugh… I should have known this. Add to this some work frustrations plus the fact that I am on the road in a few hours.. it was a frustrating morning.

That being said I owe a note of thanks to Evilbuddha for listening to me vent and get my head clear again. Thanks bud.
