[Rick writes asking what use the Get Info comments are if they are lost when
you rebuild your desktop]

There is a program called "Minor Repairs" from the people who make the '1st
AidKit' line of utilities which will do a desktop rebuild in such a way that
the comments are NOT lost.  I find this program invaluable, and it is FREE and
distributable to boot.  I've used it for the last year on each of my drives
(one Sony 40 meg, one partitioned Conner 105) and had no problems.  I tend to
keep comments on a number of my files/programs, so this is the best way to do
a rebuild.
