Hi all. Over the weekend I "finally" took
the plunge and made OSX my default OS.
I've had OSX since the first day of it's
release, but I'm still a newbie.

I was cleaning up the clutter of many cd's
around my computer to backup projects and
other misc files. I often use CD/RW's to
go between work and home.
Here's what I did.
I copied a couple of projects from the CD/RW
to my backup folder on my harddrive. I then
erased the CDRW and put it away. Now the
finder undo command sounds really cool, but
some time later in my attempt to hit CMD+A
to select all files, I accidently hit CMD+Z,
essentially undoing the last finder command
which apparently was my copy from the now
erased CDRW. I saw the files disappear before
my eyes, thought "oops wrong key", I'll
simply redo. Finder replies something to the
effect that the original disc can't be found..
No do on the redo.
The files weren't in the trash and I don't
know enough about the command line to do
any searching there... The files have to be
somewhere... right?
These files weren't anything major, as I have
backup's of them at work.. but it could have
turned out to be a devestating loss.
