Good 'ol USofA
I have been having a few issues lately:

First off, my Macbook Pro occasionally refuses to shut down in which case I have to hold the power button. Second, when running verify permissions from the CD I get a "no valid packages" error. But when I run it while booted in the OS, it works fine. Last, after I restarted a minute ago my wallpaper has gone back to something it was months ago! How random! I don't understand... I don't even save my wallpapers. I just right click wallpaper in safari and choose to use it as my desktop wallpaper, which in turn saves the file in some system folder (I can't remember where right now). Every time you do that, it replaces the old picture. How, then, could it revert to a picture that doesn't exist on my computer?

I'm so baffled. The Leopard is starting to play tricks on me. I find I spend more time than usually just making it happy. I have always been the type to install the OS fresh, and so I did with Leopard when it came out. It's been fine for most of the time, but just recently it seems that the whole OS is degrading slowly. :confused:
