Ooops...

I love Tiger, the new Mac OS. I've been playing with it quite a lot over the last couple of weeks, and last night I have finally managed to break Spotlight. I'm not sure what happened, but I think it had something to do with the way in which I deleted a couple of smart finder folders which contained saved searches. I just dragged them into the trash, which I promptly emptied. Suddenly Spotlight stopped working. My poor little machine suffered several kernel panics and would just hang when I tried to restart it. Nothing I did seemed to make any difference. I decided that the best way to deal with the mess was to reload Tiger. The only problem was that I couldn't change the start up disk. I tried everything. I then plugged in my USB keyboard and held down 'c' and I was off. Turns out that a bluetooth keyboard is no good for anything while the machine is booting up. Who'd have guessed?
