ow That hurt. I rebuilt the hard drive on my TiBook a couple of days ago; actually, I replaced the 20gb Toshiba drive with a 48gb IBM drive that has a 5400 RPM spindle speed (vs. the Toshiba's 4200). Between that and defragmenting the drive, my TiBook is a boatload faster now. Nice. In the process, I moved to using two partitions. This changed the name of the drive Radio lives on as well as the path to the application. Radio does not handle this situation gracefully, at all. Andy Fragen wrote a neat little script that fixed most of the path references in Radio. However, it didn't fix all of 'em. I still had to hunt around and fix a few dangling references to the old hard drive in Radio.root (and, maybe, weblogsData.root). I'm not sure exactly what, but things mostly seem to work now. Help images are still broken. This situation sucks. The fact that you can't move Radio Userland or even change the name of the hard drive it is on makes the whole thing rather fragile and un-Mac like. Why can't there be a variable or two that point to the root of the Radio Userland directory and have everything else derived from that root?? *sigh* 11:46:07 AM  pontificate
