Damn right Count....

The bloody manual I had was wrong, more so if you are using the "user" version

Little unimpotant things like...

the hex number for the file system

the name of the file system you use..

Little things like that

Alright there was a read me file on the disk, but to send out a manual for such
a dangerous piece of software (if you set it up wrong) which is incorrect, its
criminal

All I got was "Oh yeah... thats a problem... have you got the update?".

No I hadn't they hadn't bothered to tell me about that

"Hmm.. you can install it, but you'll still have to format to get rid of the
error"...

okay I didn't loose anything important, thats cos I was lucky no other reason..

Good advice, I do like AFS and I have stuck with it, only one problem, touch
wood, so far.
