We were on the road away from home (and backups) when I did the upgrade, so working with the tools at hand (or waiting....never a good option with the bride...) was what I had to do.
Since the SSHD came empty and unformatted, I had to populate it with what was at hand.
Understand. Hopefully, you did not keep your bride waiting! And of course, there is the old saying, "Keep the woman happy".
I think you and I are both saying the same thing, i.e., "MacManiac's way is NOT the only way!" just as much as that applies to your way....
One of the cute sayings that I've been known to utter for the past several decades (while teaching other pilots new skills) as a flight instructor has been:
"There are a 1001 ways to skin a cat, so if at the end of the day you find yourself with a naked feline, then YOUR way must have worked!"
Once again, glad to see you here....and looking forward to more.
Like your quotes. I have some of my own that are applicable. One of course is:
"There's the right way, the wrong way, and the Army way"
In the discussions at hand, there is certainly no right way or wrong way, but definitely no Army way!
And one I have said before, and I could have used it when I was teaching part time to inform the students how to be successful in the course: "Go along, and we'll get along". That one is certainly not obtrusive, is 100% valid, and is excellent, excellent advice, no matter what one is discussing or pursuing.
