Yo TheDead! Great advice, thank you.  I haven't found time to do any more on that yet, but the other weird thing I get is that when I log back on after an auto-suspend, there's always an "Authenticat...

Howd'y and thanks for the comments. Yeah, I'm probably being over the top overcautious, but I read about so many different types of malware out there these days. It's hard to know what's real and wha...

Thanks Guys!  ;D I'm already having too much fun.  ;) Yes, true, the Terminal doesn't scare me much, but I've been reminded of how pedantic (case sensitive) it always was, and how you have to put ca...
