I made an annotation. I discovered I had an inaccuracy here thanks to a user named Avi. The topic with the display of the files being gone is not because of Journaling but because of the switch to HFS+ (not journalling) in 1998 and not 2002. Thanks Avi.

Thank you for noting this.

I find your videos to be fascinating. They expose me to the details of a world of which I only vaguely knew. Thank you for them.

I remember some techies back in 1997 that i worked with recommended me to drop a supposedly broken harddrive into the floor (!) to get rid of a "sticky" problem like the one described.

Dunno how long they had done that and the success rate of it, but it had apparently had worked for them.
