[G4] What Have I Done To Deserve This

[Robert H. Baucom]

TRY TECH TOOL 4.6.1. I have both it and Disk Warrior. Sometimes one   
will pick up things that the other won't.
There are somethings that one can't find a solution (NO, find the  
cause of the problem) but it just goes away.
I've been unable to receive eMail for two days, Jacked around with  
all the settings to no avail.
Couldn't change the names of AppleWorks 6 documents. ???
Woke up (insomnia) and after working with quicken from 4:30 AM to  
9:00 I rebooted at 9:10
and eMail started downloading in a deluge.
