upgrade; WTF???

[cellboy]

Awhile back, I upgraded my iMac operating system to the OS X version. It is working great. In the old operating system, my Entourage Application, in which I stored addresses, birthdays etc, would notify me of these important upcoming dates. Not sure why I did not notice before, but I was wondering why it was not notifying me of my nephews birthday today. Maybe it had been disabled during the upgrade. I just opened up the application up to find it completely empty of any information #$%*$*#*$!!!! This is 5 + yrs of info. I searched the system for any back ups that may have been done automatically during the upgrade. NONE. I don't remember backing it up on disk as I usually do (can't find the disk)
I think I forgot to back this up (Oy!). Support told me nothing would change upon upgrade. Oy again! Oh well. The rains will be coming soon, so that will be a good time to input again..... "such a blond I is!!!!"
