Honestly, I did not know anything about this until just a couple days
before your original post where you experienced the same thing I did.
That's the only reason I was able to point you at DataSafe in the
first place and it took me a couple of days to narrow down what was
really going on.

As for the heavy tech people, I am one of those ;-)  but if we ever
start going over your head, just say so, someone will try to explain
things in more simple terms (not being condescending, but we're all of
different skill and knowledge levels here).
