Chuck Well one, although technically it wasn't mine I was replacing a hard drive and reinstalling OSX for a mate. It was someone elses but the problem happened on my watch, so yes I have had one problem.
However, I think the original thread was about removing peripherals and Apples vague instructions on updates. My Macs always stay plugged in with all their peripherals, but the iBook had nothing plugged in.

Apple , and others, make sweeping "generalized statements", that when followed eliminate the possibility of certain types of problems ---- Your statement fits a 'Reduced Universe' of possibilities, and thus is NOT a valid rebuttal to Apple's intent. That you didn't have many problems is great for you, but as advice for EVERYONE else, is "Bad Advice".
