OK, before you install leopard make sure that you TURN OFF FILEVAULT!!!!!!! VERY IMPORTANT. We learned the hard way. Thankfully though we were able to get back our important documents. Why should you turn off Filevault? Simple, all the accounts where filevault is turned on, you will not ever be able to get back into again. But we had a full system backup, and were able to restore pretty much everything except for the accounts which we did not have backed up. One of which was mine. So it’s a good thing I had all my important files on the pc. If you have already installed leopard and you had file vault turned on, hopefully you had a backup of the files, if you didn’t well then it’s too bad for you, ’cause you ain’t never gonna see them again! But if you have leopard installed with filevault on, in some of the accounts, reinstall tiger, you can do a clean erase if you want because even if you archive and install, you won’t be able to access the files anyway. So reinstall tiger, make sure you had a back-up of the files on an external drive, and then reinstall leopard and then restore your files back to your computer. Hopefully this helps somebody who has any problems.But just so everyone knows, no you can’t sue apple because they did have it written down, when you put the install disk in and then you click more information, they do tell you to turn off filevault before you install.

Card Name
October 28, 2007Those of us who worked at the front desk of a convention
hotel in Williamsburg, Va., prided ourselves on making the
guests feel special. When someone arrived at reception,
credit card in hand, we would sneak a peek at it and address
him by name.
Once during a particularly busy check-in, one of our guests
presented a corporate credit card. “Welcome to Williamsburg,
Mr. Bell,” the desk clerk said.
“Oh, please,” the man replied, “call me Taco.”
When There’s a Need to Call the Police
October 28, 2007George Phillips of Meridian , Mississippi was going up t o bed when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window.
George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.
He phoned the police, who asked “Is someone in your house?” and he said “no”. Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available.
George said, “Okay,” hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.
“Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I’ve just shot them.” Then he hung up.
Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response Unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips’ residence and caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the Policemen said to George: “I thought you said that you’d shot them!”
George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”
Don’t mess with old people!!
