---+ Mac Test Suite (Obsolete)

Here we list a series of features that should run under our standard Macintosh installation, or any time we want to test various features of hardware and software.

Tests should generally ordered such that basic features are tested before more advanced features.  For instance, basic network connectivity should be tested before testing web browsing.

---+++ Wireless (if relevant, eg: laptops)
   * Spotlight search for Terminal
   * Can you see the ethernet card?
