[QUOTE="mathogre, post: 402552, member: 25890"] Verifying the disk will ensure that the OS knows where everything is located on the disk. Files and programs are mapped to different locations on the drive, and even with some corruption the system can often figure out where things are actually located. Nevertheless, doing a verify will tell you if everything is fine or not. If fine, then no problem! If not, then you might need to actually run your system from your installation DVDs to fix your system. It's not hard, just a bit different if you've not done it before. Regarding the use of Safari when it panicked, my initial reactions are that you could have been running something through a plugin that took your machine down. Alternatively, it could just be that there's some bug in Safari. [/QUOTE]
