Upgraded to Leopard and everything seem to go okay with the upgrade, but later in the day I found that
my login acct is missing. Don't know whether to blame it on leopard because my 7 yr daughter has
been "testing" leopard also. When I go to user accts in system preferences, I see my wife's and daughter's
acct, but mine is missing. I see all the files and directories that belong to me, but when I try to
re-add the acct, the systems indicates that the acct already exists. I guess there must be a database
that contains that information as I don't see any user accts in the /etc/passwd file on the machine. Please
help.

Also, if anyone out there is trying to run leopard on anything but a relatively new machine, forget about it. I have a
933mhz quicksilver and it's very very sluggish. Well, I've been dreaming of a new mac and now, I guess its going to be a reality real soon....
