Totally OT - I need some heads up (and a hug or two)

[Thomas McGrath III]

Malte,

I can totally relate to this. And all I can tell you is "It sucks"!

That said, time will pass and the feeling of being violated will start  
to go away. I feel for what you are going through. I found for me that  
using the readjustment time to reorganize my life and since I was  
'starting over' to make things better than they had been before.   
Before some of the things I had were put together piece meal as time  
went on but this time around instead I planned it all out and  
optimized my entire system and work flow and practices.

Also, it's time to look at Time Machine/Airport in a locked box or  
hidden in a closet for your most important asset which is your  
backups. Having my most recent work backed up in a safe place gives me  
a great piece of mind. Then also once a month consider an offsite  
backup as well. DVDs are good for this since the offsite stuff is not  
really meant for long term solutions but rather as a backup to the  
backup.

Anyway, Know that we all have you back and if you need anything at all  
let us know.

Your list friend,

Tom McGrath III
