[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1612160, member: 56379"] I have a question for you folks who are Terminal experts. If someone (me for example) purchases a used Macintosh computer. And the previous owner made a bunch of modifications to how the computer looks, operates, or both. Will all of these changes be "undone"...if the hard drive is erased, reformatted, and a fresh copy of the OS installed? Or do/can the changes made with Terminal go deeper than the OS? I did some internet searching on this...and couldn't really find a clear answer. Thanks, - Nick [/QUOTE]
