I have noticed that which checking GetInfo Ownership and Permissions, the owner name is written in Japanese (I think) and then has the word (me) behind it. This is on my 800mg iBook running 10.2.8. On my iMac, it lists my name in English. Also, the characters are not always the same. Should I worry about this? Everything seems to be working fine otherwise. Vicki Allwardt vallwardt at mac.com ]
