    You know what I noticed today when I was installing the latest MBP update from Apple.

    1. I didn't really need it, but it's nice to be able to enable journaling after partitioning now in general I guess.

    2. Why does apple call the boot drive the "Startup Disk"? I guess it makes sense sort of, but it always makes me think of an external boot disk. Ah it's the Windows user in me.

    3. Anyone ever notice how Apple always says "hold C to start up from the installer", but at least on my install disk, holding C boots up to OSX, and holding nothing boots into the installer?
