Why use a dmg instead of a Zip? See Apple's docs, http://developer.apple.com/documentation/developertools/Conc... Also, you could have taken 30 seconds in the past 5 years to explain to your uncle how to install Mac apps. Instead of, you know, ranting about how its convoluted the entire time. All you have to do is say "Double click it and drag and drop the file to /Applications." — Though thats irrelevant now, since Safari now handles dmg's with a .app the same as if it would when extracting a zip. |

An icon comes up, and people click on it. It's natural and there is no indication of what you've done wrong. Then later, they have no idea where the app went.
DMGs serve no practical purpose. They are confusing to new users, and wasted clicks for power users.
