Anyway, it seems he was impressed to see his name appear in the credits of SD and suggested that I might want to observe his 'name in lights', also. Fearing that any delay of a response might send him into some kind of catatonic seizure, I immediately opened my just hours old updated version and dutifully selected the "About SuperDuper" menu item. Unfortunately, I did not see this gentleman's name among the numerous lists. Since my age and lack of education forces me to read at rather slow speeds, I closed the About window and tried again. As with most repeated actions, I saw the same results.
Except...Guess what name did appear in the list of names, the last one, as a matter of fact. I'll see if I can get 10 extra post credits to the first one to give me the name that I saw!

Just email your SS# and bank account numbers ( don't forget the PIN ) and I'll make sure you get the credits!

Or maybe every registered user gets his/her name in the end credits for "above and beyond the call to duty".

I suspect SD! harvested the name from your registration (or your from computer long name).

Oh well, I thought I had gotten my moment of fame.

Took a screenshot when my name came up. Can I use it in a résumé?

Well ok, just this once.

p.s
ABD your aged TS member related all to me and was highly amused that he was reeled in.
Methinks "the mother of all" retribution may be winging in your direction.

Surely you don't speak of yourself! But if you do land near Elvis' house, you had better give me a call! Retribution or no. I suggest that Harv should wary of the arrival of any 'surprise' packages, especially from CA!

Just updated - and there I was!Kris, I think it might be right up there with listing among your interests/memberships membership in Book-of-the-Month Club. I'll never forget the resumé we got from someone that actually said that.

George: ABD gets nothing from the "aged Member" but affection and respect, I believe.
The devil in the piece is Sir Pendragon, to whom certain characterizations were recently addressed (according to reliable sources) identifying his
- mendacaity
- obfuscation
- perfidious behavior
In confirmation, I am again reliably informed, Sir Pendragon in fact acknowledged the truth of these descriptions by replying.

I shall the effect of this good lesson keep,
As watchman to my heart. But, good my brother,
Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven;
Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine,
Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads,
And recks not his own rede.

The 'court' rules that the lack of perfection in ( some ) others, is not an acceptable defense for ones own actions. Motion denied! We find for the 'infirmed' party. The bailif will please help the gentleman out. Next case.

Running Panther on an unsupported 9600 is always a touchy situation but when I had to restart last eve due to a freeze and couldn't get through the boot process, I feared the worst.
After many tries I managed to zap the PRAM and boot to an OS 9 install to find one of my partitions unrecognizeable and my main X system NG.
Fortunately I was able to boot to the second internal drive with X and even more fortunately I had just backed up my drives two days ago to an external FW with SuperDuper.
So, after I did the DiskWarrior routine on all visible partitions, I erased the bad system and copied the backup via SuperDuper. Am now back on my main drive with renewed directories and defragged partition.
Thank you SuperDuper.
