troubleshooting

I can not say I was exactly pissed off by this situation. But I would say inadequate "user experience" was guaranteed. Well. It took me more then an hour but I payed for my 3G connection while away from WinXP VMs on my external HD. One thing is that VMWare somehow degraded the product for older OS with new major update. The other is why smart guys at e-bank use Windows only compatible "security" software at all which is not so needed in the real world. It is just unprofessional (though it looks like). I understand that developing "hardware enabled software security system" will attract a larger budget but isn't it about end user convenience anyway?

I've ruined permissions at my home backup drive (it was 75% my fault to be honest). I tried to fix it terminal/unix way but it ended up with something even worser. Broken resource forks, fancy non existing users and permissions... (OMG, my lovely icons collection gone in bits and pieces). Then I was looking for easy solution to get back those zillion files live and proper. And you know what?

The easiest way is to copy your files to FAT32 dive if you have any handy. What will happen: all your permissions will null comparing to HFS+ (but keeping icons, forks, bundles etc intact though).
