Keep Your Installation Image Around

[Dan Shafer]

I'm not sure what happened, but my copy of Rev 2.1 final absolutely 
refused to launch completely this morning. It would get to the part of 
the load process where it was "Loading Menus, Plug Ins..." and just 
hang. There was a beach-ball cursor, but it was not even spinning.

I force-quit, compared the plug-ins folder contents to that of my Rev 
2.1 RC1 folder. They were identical except the 2.1 folder had RevTools 
in it. I removed it and tried again. No joy.

Finally, after a good bit of fiddling, I just trashed Rev 2.1 and 
reinstalled it. It' humming happily along now. Obviously, something got 
corrupted. But a word to the wise: don't throw away the installer (in 
this case, the .dmg file for OS X). You may need it!
