Here is a full copy of my EtreCheck report:- https://pastebin.com/pnZjDzpq It appears, to me, as if there is no longer an SSD in operation in my so-called Fusion Drive. Do you agree? Comments welcome. -- Thanks, David

My, my memory (personal!) must be really shot. I don't recall Gremlin being involved at all! I have had long discussions about the situation with ChatGPT and long before the failure I arranged for my iMac to boot and operate from a 1TB external SSD. That doesn't show up in the EtreCheck report because I deliberately removed it from its Thunderbolt connection before scanning.

I could be wrong... but I think you posted it, I looked briefly on the move and did not have much to add, and he came in and mocked me and noted the SSD error. Maybe that was another topic. > I have had long discussions about the situation with ChatGPT and long > before the failure > I arranged for my iMac to boot and operate from a 1TB external SSD.

Fair enough. -- It's impossible for someone who is at war with themselves to be at peace with you.
