Hi Rob, I don't like to sound picky and disagree with you but your instructions to David for Rebuilding the iPhoto 11 9.4.3 Library is incorrect.
To rebuild the iPhoto library: 1. Quit iPhoto if it is open. 2. Hold down the 'Command and Option' keys on the keyboard. 3. Open iPhoto. 4. Keep the Option & Command keys held down until you are prompted to rebuild the library. 5. A dialog will appear with rebuild options. Select the options you want to use. 6. Click Rebuild to begin the rebuild process. This may take a few minutes to complete.
