Don't Do This @ Home

I must really be getting good at this. This is my second time to fatally crash the mac in a year. to this day, i don't know what The Faithful call it, when your mac says in a black screen to press the power button because the system did something fatal. in this case, user (i.e. the guy whose blog you're reading now) did something stupid.

what crazy thing did i do? installed openafs 1.5.15 (distributed file system) on the imac. the install never did get to finish. anyway, don't worry, this isn't a sign of bad design on apple's part. the tech IS bleeding edge and most users will never ever touch it.
