I do Time Machine every couple of days, so I think my filing cabinet IS backed up on an external hard drive - but maybe I'll just call Apple Care and have them talk me through it, and, more importantly, to see if they know if these problems will continue if I uninstall and reinstall.

Imagine what might happen if THE WOMAN EATER met THE 50 FOOT WOMAN??   :D

Intriguing premise.  Thank goodness HOWCO and the WOOLNER BROS. never got around to that idea.  The Woman Eater is a tree that a scientist found in the Amazon Jungle. He also found a native bongo player that kept it active with his music.

How he got it into England and into his laboratory without anyone asking any questions is not revealed in the film. 

I remember the Woolner Brothers. 

I pitched them a project back in the 1960s.

They were a step above Ed Wood.

In fact, I interviewed Bernard Woolner for my Basil Rathbone book.  Basil's final film was that beloved non-Oscar-winning Woolner classic, HILLBILLYS IN A HAUNTED HOUSE.

MBarnum or other Bollywood fans - ever see or hear of a film called Om Shanti Om?  Just read a review of it and it sounds rather good.

I saw it at the theater and loved it. It does a great spoof of the 1970s Bollywood films, plus there are a ton of guest appearences of Bollywood actors/actresses old and current.

It is a film that will make more sense if you are someone who has seen a lot of Bollywood movies, new and old, as this film makes many references. But even if you don't get the inside jokes, I think it would still be enjoyable.

"Filing Cabinet" is embedded into AOL, so if you delete your current copy of AOL, you will delete your Filing Cabinet.  -If you pull it back up via Time Machine, you will be restoring your possibly corrupted file of AOL.  However, AOL does let you back-up your Filing Cabinet as a separate file, so that you can save your e-mails "outside" of AOL.  Just remember, that AOL has it's own encryption methods, and Filing Cabinet files can ONLY be opened via AOL.  They are not viewable on their own.

Sounds too scary - I don't want to lose my filing cabinet.  I'm on the phone with Apple Care.  it's amazing how helpful some of them are and how unhelpful some of them are.  I had the latter and have now asked for the former.

The ultimate in outsourcing:

Mental Health Outsourcing

I was depressed last night, so I called Lifeline
I got a call center in Pakistan
I told them I was suicidal
They got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.

Trying to work up some enthusiasm for walking over to the dry cleaners with the dog in this storm.  Zach likes the dry cleaners; they give him biscuits.

It's all too confusing.  And I'm doubly confused about using aol.com to read and respond to e-mails - are those going into my filing cabinet automatically or do I have to do something special?

Apple simply won't do anything with AOL software - they hate it.  They recommend getting rid of AOL completely.

Time Machine should be automatically set up to do a monthly back, a weekly back-up, daily back-ups and hourly back-ups.  -At least whenever you've connected your external hard-drive.

So, Jose - when I read and respond to mail via aol.com - it's not going into my filing cabinet.  It goes to "old mail" but when I checked my filing cabinet neither the original e-mail is there nor my response under "sent mail."  I went to settings but don't see anything for that, and I also pulled down the "action" menu and clicked on move to saved mail, but it's still not showing up in my filing cabinet.

Friday afternoon greetings!  I'm more than halfway through my last day here.  The information-waitressing is going fine and my successor is picking up that routine quite quickly.

I wonder when DR Elmore would like to come over to sit by our Christmas tree and eat Shaddock's pizza?

Mail on AOL.com is only saved ONLINE.  It's a totally different program and interface from the AOL program.

-Which is why you need to set up Mail on your computer.  NOW!
