OS X: Can't get rid of Microsoft In an effort to free up some space on my PowerBook, I attempted to delete OS 9. To my knowledge, this is possible by deleting the "/Applications (Mac OS 9)" folder and the "/System Folder." Sure sounds good, but I can't get rid of the Microsoft Excel program in my Applications folder. When I try to delete it, the whole OS freezes up and the only thing I can do is reboot (by holding down the power button).

I took Mimi-Me into the Apple Store last weekend to see if they could help. They ran "Repair Permissions" and then ran Disk Warrior on it - which took several hours. They assured me that running Disk Warrior would fix it, but no dice. Any ideas? Posted in Mac OS X at Sep 11 2003, 09:05:47 PM MDT 4 Comments

Is the stress getting to me? I don't know what's causing it, but I've woken up with a headache every day since I caught a small cold from Abbie on Monday. I've been cranking out a fair amount of hours between my day job and other side-projects, but you'd think this headache would go away. Is it the stress? Who knows - all I know is that I have to take Advil on a 4 hour rotation to get rid of it. I've even ditched my contacts for glasses one day, but that didn't help either.

I need to find a better way to relax, and a way to quit worrying about "getting things done" for my clients. Do I have productivity anxiety or is it deadline anxiety or maybe it's just West Niles. Posted in General at Sep 11 2003, 02:38:18 PM MDT 3 Comments
