| There's nothing like a brain wipe and restore to get your MP2100 back in

| opportunity to remove any soups or pkgs you no longer want or need.

Better still, restore your soups from backup but reinstall packages from
.pkg files instead of the backup.

| If the restore don't cure your problems, restore again minus the system
| Info. You'll need to reconfigure some preferences, but that's no big deal.

The System Info soup is frequently problematic on my MP2100. After a short
while, neither Mac nor Windows versions of NCU can perform an update backup.
MobileBackup can, though. Go fig.
