Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, everyone!
I have no idea why this stuff came up when my search term was "fudge" or "fluff" or "marshmallow." BTW, I didn't find the recipe that uses the *fluff* which means I must have saved it in my 3-ring binder instead of in my Recipes file on my Mac. My other T&T fudge recipes were easily found. :clap:
So what are these things, and can I just trash them? :confused:
I double-clicked on a couple of them and got a message that they can't be opened, something about an application. See how my computer puzzles me? All I wanted was a fudge recipe.
Smiles,
Sooz

I don't actually know *what* they are, but these are all on your SuperDuper backup drive -- and I wouldn't remove them.

Surely you can remember what you did October 22, 2015! :wallbash: :scram:
Your first list shows nothing but html files. Obviously they will all open in any browser. You can also open them in TextEdit with a control-click and then select the "Open with..." item in the pop up menu. "html" is simply another word for "text", but it will mostly be full of html tags. What seems strange to me is their location in the "man" folder.
The lower image shows they are all in the "man" and "man1" folders. Those are where the commands for whatever Terminal shell 'language' you* have installed. "man" is the command for opening the "manual" (which is what no body ever reads). In Terminal, you would type "man" (without the quotation marks) a space and then a command you wanted to know about. You would then see the entry in the manual and what that command does along with any extra parameters you can add or that may be required.
If you get to a point that you have to use Terminal after a crash, you'd probably be better off doing a complete re-install of the OS. ;) So you can delete those from SD and you'd get them all back on the re-install. One thing I like with Carbon Copy Cloner is that it is easy to deselect files you don't want to back up. Those are mostly System files that will be replaced if/when I do a complete re-install of the OS. Not much use keeping them in a backup that won't used. I imagine SD has similar controls, perhaps other SD users can report where.
* Actually, the OS installs all those.

We’ve got fresh pecans! Easy on the sugar though, my doc wants me to stop all my favorite foods!!! And no sugar!!! :rant:
BYW, after so many here faved about “Find Anything”, I finally installed it. Give it a try!

Hi, Jim,
You have fresh pecans? Lucky pup!!! I just came across a recipe for toasted candied pecans, made with honey instead of sugar.
Apparently for many people, honey (while still *sugar*) is metabolized slower and differently. What I've found is that the glycemic index and different foods just turn me into my own science experiment.
Ok, what's the scoop of "Find Anything" -- in Sooz-speak.

Oops! Almost made it to the end of the year wifout mayking enie mizteaks!!! :wallbash:
The correct name is "Find Any File". Here's a link Find Any File (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-any-file/id402569179). Well worth the eight bucks (free shipping! :WOW: )
