Another interesting feature/failure of my iMac and/or 10.7.2: The last Apple advisor I spoke with wanted me to do a Safe Boot (ostensibly to see if third-party applications could be interfering with the OS); it wouldn't do a Safe Boot (ie, no label identifying Safe Boot came up upon login, even though an unusual progress bar showed up beneath the Apple logo and spinning wheel during restart).

In a dozen years of using my iMac DV SE running OS 9 I never had a problem — no data loss, no crashes, no malfunctions. The only issues I experienced were/are not being able to gain access to certain websites (due to change in websites) and even then my old system could find what was on a "blank" page merely by cutting and pasting "All" onto a Word document.
