I was off by 8 hours I think - Pacific time vs what - GMT? Maybe it would be OK after 8 hours? that would be OK but I'm nervous about using the machine in the meantime because it's huge numbers of messages and every file edit is a complaint. Maybe set it up right this afternoon, leave the machine alone, and then wait until tomorrow morning? Thanks Mick! - Mark
