System installed and updated.
Well I've got the System installed and the Developer tools so I can use AppleScript Studio.
Now I'm just updating everything with the Software Update control panel.
Glad I've got DSL.

Format the drive.
I think I'm ready to format my drive.
I had it split into 2 partitions.
I'll just go for 1 big one this time.
Now I have a fresh new drive.

Back up everything.
It is amazing how many files I have ended up with on my hard drive.
Hundreds of thousands. I remember when I could fit everything on a 400K disk.
I wish that the new Backup software from Apple would backup to local drives. Only to iDisc and internal burners.

Installing Mac OS X from scratch.
I know it has been comming for a while.
Time to backup, clean out and re-install Mac OS X
Why? I was upgrading to Quicktime 6.0.2 and things didn't work out how they should. If the install stops half way through then you are in deep shit if you rely on Quicktime. You can still play movies but you get errors when you try to edit.
You can't run the installer again to fix it.
