Mac Geekery

I notice that getting an intel mac mini to clone itself also does this: remember how anything that was G5 PPC and previous could clone itself (while running) in Disk Utility? the new Intels go mental if you try that same thing: they lose their id, and won’t boot, because it’s unrecoverable. even when they do get to the root console in single-user mode, you can’t redeem it.
