Funny you should mention that Mike. I just got my Mac back from the shop and they formated the drive to Journaled rather than Mac OS extended Journaled. Should I be concerned about this? Am I necessarily loosing anything by this? and, one final point, if I wanted to reformast to extended Journaled, I'd have to do a clean install after reformatting and wiping the drive?
