I've been reading this thread with vague interest, and I'd like to chime in here. As a fairly well-informed but not expert "average user" I like having the MUD folder in Documents - that way when I back up Documents, which I do more regularly than backing up other folders, directories, whatever you want to call them, I get my email backed up. I suspect that most "average users," at least those who don't have a support staff doing back-up for them, act as I do - worry most about backing up the Documents folder, assuming that if a disaster strikes, reinstalling programs will recreate all the "Library" stuff. I now know (having had my hard drive die), that Documents doesn't get everything I've created - there are things like Safari bookmarks that are someplace else, but it's still the folder I worry about most. -- Jan Martel in Davis, CA G4PB 15" Al; System 10.4.2 -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
