Glenn L. Austin paused, thought it over, and spoke thusly: >Unfortunately, I >also have to work on Windows, where I just lost an entire drive's contents >(including the partition table, interestingly enough!) due to a bug in the >well-known *backup* program I've been using successfully for many years. That's lousy news. I have to ask, though, which is more likely, A 'bug' surfaced in the backup utility, after being dormant for years, or maybe an update, or security patch, in the OS did the nasty? Windows proprietary bloat reached a software (too many lines of bloated code) critical mass a while ago, wherein every 'fix' automatically spawns multiple vulnerabilities. ~flipper
