The BFC Computing Weblog: "The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time"

"The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time"

While descriptive of how things may look to the world as I move my gear into my new office, this blog entry is about an annoying error message on Mac OS X Tiger.

Cutting to the chase: You get this when Finder launches if it can’t get a route to the network server of the items in your

~/Library/Recent Servers

folder. Delete them, and you won’t have to hit Enter twenty times on login. Design note to Apple - don’t annoy the user when a backend task gets confused unless it’s critical.
