My only problem with the "you can deactivate it" claim is that every time I've tried, nothing has come of my attempts to deactivate said things. Plus, why should I have to, in this day and age, go through with a terminal script to optimize my *Mac* ?

It's the main reason why Linux is unacceptable as a desktop OS for me. (that, and the lack of any real apps, like photoshop, final cut (or premeireprocs3/avid for windows) and inDesign, et al.

With the exception of my CS3 apps (which don't run in 10.3, and which I don't need on my laptop), the pismo runs everything I need, and the iMac picks up my creative apps.
