[Leica] Mac query

[allen.graves at charter.net (Allen Graves)]

When I was having my power supply problems, Disk Utility never showed 
any problems. Disk warrior showed the directory problems that were a 
result of what retrospectively was varying power supplied to the 
disk. I could repair the directory and get everything back, but flaky 
behavior gradually returned. According to my repair tech, there's no 
really good way to check out the power supply until it finally goes. 
(which mine did, fortunately under warranty). He did say that such 
behavior was often a symptom of electrical supply problems,including 
power  surges.

Good luck. Feel free to contact me off list if  you have any questions.
