Good point Oliver. It's useful because sometimes the odd little files
that are left on your system during a manual un-install can screw up
your system or future installs of the same software. I have an odd
piece of software left over from a "manual uninstall" that I have to
track down because it refuses to let me shut down my Mac without going
in and force-quitting some little piece of the leftover software.
COREMIDI anyone? Sometimes you THINK that it doesn't matter about
these little files, but odd problems that you may attribute to
something else - like a specific filter not working properly - are
caused by bad uninstalls. Some of these problems you may never
discover, and some you may never discover...until it's too late.....
BoooHHHAHAHAHAHAHAh
