Great story! Wish him the best! See a market and provide the best service to it. What better way to succeed? Wish we had more entrepareneurs like him, really wanting to provide help while earning a living! clap.gif

Speaking of tips, I always make sure I have two new, shinny quarters when our MUG goes to our favorite restaurant after our meetings. I used to only leave one quarter, but with the economy in such a dump, I've upped it to two quarters, even though it is sometimes hard to find the new ones. I'm sure the waitress appreciates my benevolence because she always brings a clean towel every time she spills cold water or hot coffee on me. yes.gif

What an uplifting story - it's always good to hear about service above and beyond.

We count ourselves lucky to have found a small family-run car repair business that we're recommending to everyone within reach of them. We took Caroline's Puma in there last Monday, suspecting a failing wheel bearing. Owner Nick brought out a trolley-jack and agreed with our diagnosis (jack up car, spin wheel....). We asked when we could book it in and he said 'leave it with me and I'll have it ready by 6pm'. We did, he did... and the bill was just over £90 ($140 US) all in. thumbup.gif

I wish Steve Bush the very best of good fortune smile.gif

Best part of the story: the next time you are missing a large file or folder use one of the apps that can make invisible files visible, then search.  yes.gif

I just keep < PathFinder>running. It can "see" any kind of file and handle it without making any OS visibility changes. And it can search anywhere you have electrons stored. Won't be as fast as Spotlight, of course. But SL can't "see" any more than you can manually, it just may have looked at more places than you would have.

Jim, don't make me send you a copy of the "Tipping Song..." written by a veteran NYC taxi cab driver... rolleyes.gif

But what a great story, wonderful guy, I wish him and his business all the best! thumbup.gif

That it kris, it's all there you just need the app. to see it.
Finder ...set to view invisible files works just fine. With it I can see everything on my drive. Sometimes the Tittle is hard to remember, or the type of file, or the date, but knowing any of the search criteria gets you very close and then it's just a matter of time. If you know it's a jpeg, look for invisible jpeg's, eventually one will be inside an invisible folder.
This stuff don't fall out of the computer, yes you can over write it but not likely in the short term. Most stuff get over written when folks start looking for it, and that no joy.  whistling.gif
