What a stupid thing to do
Agreed....
My objective with macosxhints is...
... to publish information about OS X. I don't view my job as trying to decide whether a hint is stupid or smart (I'm too stupid about too many things to make judgements on such things), although I will occasionally comment with my opinion on a given hint.
My objective with macosxhints is...
open firmware password is not all it's cracked up to be either rob. 10 seconds (at most) is all it takes to fix it so that the machine will boot without requiring you to put the pass in.
