Tiger – you are a moron. The computer has a visual display, if something is wrong it’ll be obvious. The sound is for brand recognition and advertising ( or a status symbol in the user’s case ). The owner of the computer should be able to configure the startup sound, even to play nothing.

Why Mac is dog vomit: the customer is always wrong. I use Mac because I’m forced to. It doesn’t suck: I dream of it being only as crap as to suck. It pukes.

Sam – when you are prompted to chose the program to open the gz file, go and pick BOM Archive Utility (/System/Library/CoreServices/BOMArchiveHelper.app) – this one knows how to open up .gz files; or, another way, download and install the free version of the StuffIt Expander software(available on the web)

or, if you are more advanced user, you can use the Terminal.app and the tar -zxvf command ; or the gunzip command
