Can't get Time Machine to work with Nighthawk

   I don't see any "Options..." control on 10.5.8 (plain-old Leopard?).

   I'm sure that you can find people calling the "Exclude these items"
list by all kinds of names, but not everyone will have heard all of
them.  In general, using the exact wording shown by the program will be
less likely to confuse the reader.  "exclusion" didn't bother me, but I
saw "privacy" nowhere, so it wasn't clear that I was looking at the same
thing as you.  My knowledge is far from complete, so, for all I know,
there could easily be a real "privacy" thing somewhere.

   I had always thought of this feature as limiting storage
requirements, but I can see that it could be used to keep relatives from
exploring one's porn collection, too.

   Communication in general works best when everyone uses the same
terminology.  Around here, prople frequently invent their own technical
terms, and seem amazed when readers are baffled.
