Sherlock

Perhaps I ran into the same trouble.... The day (more like night) os X was officially released, I got it. I installed it, and the first user I created (in the initial setup program) was named 'root'. BAD BAD BAD BAD IDEA!!!! Everything was a stupid white icon. I couldn't even run Sherlock. The system was totally messed up. I called Apple, and they didn't have a clue (at...
