I only ever get the manual out after the new toy is smouldering on the floor from countless attempts at repairing permissions, irrespective of whether it's a Mac.
Mad Jew loves them permissions!!! I could see you as a parent whose child misbehaves or doesn't ask permission before doing something when they should have...

"I'll repair your permissions - Get your @$$ over here!"
Ah... but I had a slightly rash decision making process. I saw it on Dec 29 when I needed a new computer and forced myself to wait til MWSF in case there were any new updates. As soon as the keynote coverage finished on MR, I walked straight down to Peter Jones and bought it. Since I was sitting on a Tube, I didn't feel I could start unwrapping it. That journey home has rarely seemed so long...unless you count the times when you've been in the pub all evening and forgot to visit the little girls' room before leaving
