When I selected "n" on the option "Move Dock on the right", after reboot, the dock was to the right side.
Maybe could you provide a much implicit message for the "natural scrolling" question, I had to google it to know what was the behaviour (the old or the new one). Maybe saying something like "(when you go down on your mouse/touchpad scroll, the scrolling goes up, and vice versa)"
Found a small bug. All questions are evaluating to true regardless of the answer. To fix it, line 56 (https://gist.github.com/2108403#file-hack-sh-L56) needs to change from this:
$yz
to this:
$yn
Hey, just got a new macbook and looked this up. Thanks for adding the prompts. Cheers!
Thanks, but this script literally did the opposite of everything I told it to do
For example, I told it not to speed up my mouse, told it not to enable 2d dock, and told it not to move my dock to the right side of the screen
All of those things actually happened
Thank You!! Really nice, but the opposite of everything would be great!
https://raw.github.com/gist/2108403/hack.sh url is incorrect
It should be https://gist.githubusercontent.com/DAddYE/2108403/raw/hack.sh
Yup
