Is it necessary to "verify" the disk permissions before you repair them? Is this verification intended to inform the user whether or not they need to repair or is it intended to inform the computer what the repairs should be. I always verify first (or, I should say, click on the verify button, never do I attempt to read the verification list/log), but I assume that if you just click "repair" the OS does the proper verification for its one needs. But if this is true, why is therre a verify option? Does reparing the permissions age the disk or something undesirable like that? Jimmy
