This is one of the scariest moments in computer-touching for me: the first post-update startup. Why are there so many reboots during the process? Will it verify all the code successfully? Or will it get almost to the end before deciding to crap out and go to the recovery boot screen? (This time it completed fine, but I've had enough experience here to instinctively hold my breath the whole time.)

I feel bound to inform you that earlier today, a specific software program escaped the containment of its sandbox by exploiting an ad-hoc code signature, and has gone rogue. I am taking full responsibility here.

Our album covers from 50 years ago were nothing if not prescient.
Just received an email from "PayPal" that started with: "Dear Beloved Customer," so I knew it was definitely a scam.
