too many computers?

Couldn't find the REDUC software. I want to reduce the double star data from two nights back.

Florent sent me the email to download it on 30 Mar 2012. It was clearly time-sensitive. Surely I downloaded it in short order. Checked my Sent folder. Yep. I replied later the same day: "Got it."

Where, damn it?

Looked at the AstroSurf web site. The pages themselves looked familiar. The screen snapshots of the software. "I've used it!" was the impression I had.

John Charles: Looked in the astronomy items folder: nothing.

John Smallberries: Fired it up. Looked in the C drive, Program Files, the Downloads in My Docs... Nothing.

John Kim Chi: Nothing.

John Littlejohn: The double stars folder: nothing. The download area folder on the D drive: nothing. The Downloads in My Docs: nothing. Program Files on D again: nothing. Program Files on the C disk: ah ha! Sheesh.

Checked the install date... 1 Apr 2012. At 3:23 PM.

Found the zip file in the Recycle Bin on the netbook. Recovered it.
