Just a quick note to let you all know where I disappeared to. Our friends did arrive for their visit, as planned, but just before they arrived I discovered a Very Important Hard Drive decided to fail. After saving what data I could and trying every trick I could think of to get the rest, I ran off to Staples for a new HD, and have been rebuilding stuff ever since.
I hope to have things in shape well enough to resume posting tonight (he typed with crossed fingers).

When this happens to me, I roll up the newspaper, swat the computer box, and yell:
BAD HARD DRIVE!
I iterate several times.
I believe it has no effect on the computer hard drive, but it saves my remaining hair(s), knuckles from injury, and various housewares from kinetic computer impacts.
Sorry for your loss.
