You're right, it doesn't. I don't know what I would do in your  
circumstances. I've lost a lot of information a few updates ago and  
had to reenter it manually. What a pain. I'm still cursing Apple for  
that one and have become very hesitant to upgrade until after I've  
read some initial reports on macintouch and macfixit.
