I have two daughters, and the have their own computer. They know mine is untouchable. I already knew you were asking me for this.

And why not? I had all these disappeared files in different partitions, hard drives and even directories. All my computer is failing? I have just said to another lister that it's a bit strange to see only certain types of files disappearing. And for instance, why disappear the links to adult material only? Would you kindly explain to me? Perhaps failures on hardware are a "backdoor" spy now? I've never experienced this, from 1997 when I became a SuSE user and a true fan. I repeat I have done really weird things, and SuSE always was a very good friend of mine. No, no... here is something more, but unaffortunately I can't still know why.

Certain links in konqueror bookmarks have in common anything to Tellico databases, for example?

Oh I assure you I missed several printings of my invoices when using Windows... I completely removed it, and since then, with SuSE and StarOffice invoices ever disappeared. > Most > current are: > > * accidental deletion by the user -> beware the links No. All files I've lost didn't have any links.

A hardware error would have removed files here and there and everywhere, don't you think so? Or computer would freezed or something like this. > additional question: what % of the recent files have desapear? many, a > very small bunch? Yes! Several gigs of jpg, video files, and all Tellico databases (twenty or thirty megas of my CD's), and of course links in my konqueror bookmarks. is this serious? I think I can have got whatever I want in my computer, then why it disappears from time to time? But after all, I must admit my jpg's are STILL there, until "something" wants... Thanks indeed.
