It is not coming up when=20 I search for it. Now I am really fretting- does that mean it means "too=20 late. it is past the give point of trying to restore it?" I am trying=20 not to look stupid here, but reading it myself, it sounds as if I am. Or, does that mean, (hopefully) I can try going *WAY* back on system=20 restore (Jan 27 is my earliest restore point)? I am worried about going=20 back that far, not sure what I will lose if I do.
