Thanks, Steven. I now know what happened: I had forgotten that I had a new hard drive put in at the end of December! Now another thing I'm ashamed to admit: I still had the old hard drive till about a month ago, at which point, figuring that if nothing had shown up missing in four months I didn't need to hang onto it, I tossed it. As I recall, I did the data restoration from Time Machine. I'm vague about this, but I may have moved Time Machine to another drive---from a 500 Gb drive to a 1 Tb drive. Perhaps this will have screwed up the method suggested at the link you provided. You will have an opinion. Meantime I'll check it out myself. I thought I had a good system, but I was very careless. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA [email protected] “A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community.
