Well, I could put it on .mac, but my bandwidth limit is already used
up... but as an FYI, the website I shared it on is not anonymous.
It's owned by GoDaddy, the largest Registrar in the world (bigger than
Network Solutions)... you also must pay with a valid credit card a
yearly fee ($20 for 2 gigs of space), thereby eliminating any
anonynoymity (sp?). Online File Folder is no more anonymous than
.Mac... in fact, it's less anonymous because you cannot get a free
trial with the Online File Folder... anyone can make a free .mac
account.
I don't expect anyone to run it... it's there if they want to use it.
I simply wrote a quick and dirty fix to eliminate a problem.
Unlike Windows downtime (which happens all the time), Macs are already
in an uphill battle... something like this that knocks down a critical
IT process can spell a "no more Mac" ruling... The poor guy had gigs
of data being lost and was probably hearing "You had to have those
f'in macs!", so I did what I could to help him and anyone else who
might have needed it.
And no offense to AppleCare, but we've had to call them several times
to get case numbers on failed hardware, and I think I learned more in
my first two hours with a Mac than those guys know overall. They go
down a checklist of things with no inner thought (at least that's what
it seems to me).. so asking them to get into a plist file and edit
properties is like trusting Windows with critical healthcare data.
(couldn't resist the windows shot, sorry).
even though the higher tiers of applecare might handle it, as the
person stated, he didn't have hours to wait on hold.

It's fine to do this, but do you really have no other place to post
this than a random online web file sharing site?
Expecting people to run installers from such locations sets a
terrible precedent...
