Yes I thought as much and to be honest that in my method currently ( I was
just wonder if there was a better method). I also keep a list or compare
newtons as I recreate folders on the 2100 and make sure they are all the
same. I found out that they will reorganize if the names are right long ago
when I had to kill my 120's system soup because of corruption, and started
recreating folders and found out that everything went in the right folder
automatically (I was thrilled to say the least....I thought I had a LOT more
work ahead of me LOL).
