Huh?
Authored by: abkennedy on Dec 12, '02 09:34:06PM

Why is this "new"? We've always been able to copy System Folders in previous OS's... How else would one want to "restore" a System Folder?

Surely OSX is not so entrenched that a new generation of user exists who have never dealt with System 7, or 8, or 9?

uhhm... I'm not normally one to -itch but HELLO? This is the most obvious and practially the defining "magic" feature of the first Mac OS back in 1984. Drag and drop?! Holy crap that's amazing!

Otherwise... sure - it works - cool.

Its one thing to point out that this has been a feature for awhile, but the sarcastic attitude in your post is uncalled for. It doesn't help anyone to point out that something is obvious. I am sick of the sheer arrogance of some mac people.

There are actually quite a few people here that haven't been using Macs since 1984. There are probably a lot of them that have only been using it since OS X came out ... and OS X is NOT a drag-and-drop backup system. Hence, they probably wouldn't think to try it with the Classic folder.

Remember the mantra of the site -- if it's potentially useful to someone, I'll probably publish it. If it's too simple for you, then just skip it. If it's too complex for you, then just skip it. But if it's not published, then that one person that could benefit from the knowledge won't be able to.

Damn, I can't believe I said that. I must have been real pissed at something. Sorry.
