We would then print out an entire list for her to check. She’s pretty close to knowing all of the costs by heart !!

Hello Helpful, boy, my needs wouldn't be satisfied without a word, no matter how big or small from Helpful, I would begin having problems but they would soon turn into worry about Harry ... !

Your explanation concerning the trashed folders & keys sticking seems very plausible but quite frankly, I am not in the mood to deal with the pain right now !!! There is no rhyme or reason to perform such tasks, the danger & extra confusion is not worth the effort. And now that you touch on that vein, I deem that Apple should offer a clear & precise operation - especially how to avoid such movements !!!

I am going to use the simple method to rid myself of this headache - iCloud - in the garbage - so, I'll thank you once again for 'being there 'thank you again' & please stay well & happy.

Till 'next time' ...

François-

Well, I really appreciate your & Erik's advice. By the way, I'd like to thank you for your Spread Sheet idea, I'll consider it but don't think I'll try to implement it. The 'operators' will be testing it & they're accustomed to FILMMAKER
