Well, you might not know how much it costs to pull yourself up by your
bootstraps every day. And to keep smiling while you want to be
cursing the whole universe-- And when you had such a colorful life as
I did, man, there is nothing that could triumph that, so ---and---
after all ,I have lived eternity on this side of the river Styx, and
they tell me they don't have computers there, but knowledge is all
encompassing and ever present, but-- who needs all that? Drop back
into the void we came from, like a drop into the big ocean- I do know
how to swim!

Marta,
Don't you dare to suggest kicking the bucket soon! You and your
wonderful e-mails would be sorely missed!

Thanks, John,
I, too,have too many files from the ancient age-- but I do not know
how to rid myself of those and not get rid of everything. And even
when Leopard was installed, everything went over from Tiger, and
when Tiger was installed, everything went over from Panther -----
so where does that leave me? I do not know. - I guess I should kick
the bucket soon and that would rid me of everything, no, I would
rid myself of all the superfluous stuff and everything else to
boot. And that would just be great!

If the index on spotlight is like most it will have grown over
time to include all the added files, photo's, music, documents,
etc. etc. and in my case I had done a complete install of Leopard
from scratch, which means I had tons of files that I had moved to
the hard drive from Tiger. As I had the time to go through them
and eliminate all that I didn't need I reduced the storage on the
drive by many many gig's. so those had been indexed and were no
longer needed.
It could be that Spotlight would then remove those from the index
and reduce the size of the index to match the size of the hard
drive, I don't know, but just in case the old index still had all
those thousands of files that were now gone I wanted to rid my
machine of the old index and start a new one that would be much
smaller.

A question on the side: When you do a new index on spotlight,
what does that mean?
