Hi every1,

Re my disappearing HD icon:

Rob Findlay helped me out:

It seems in my too-vigorous dusting I somehow managed to not only open 
the Finder preferences panel but also to uncheck the "Show Hard Drives" 
button...hehehhe...

Thanx Rob.


Important safety tip: Shut The Bloody Puter Down before wiping dust 
from the Keyboard!!!

:)

Seasonal felicitations to all!
