What's an SSD?
BTW, the more time I spend with Lion 10.7.3 on my mid-2011 iMac, the more I
like both!
A week ago, I would have denied that possibility, but today...I'm learning
both and am very pleased. Against my will you understand, but like Mikey, I
LIKE IT! <g>

To get picky, the difference is actually much more than just Apple
calling it something different.
The term SSD refers to an actual drive, i.e. something with the same
form factor and connections as a traditional hard drive. You can take a
machine with a traditional drive, remove it, plug in a compatible SSD
and away you go.
The MacBooks don't use SSDs, in that there is no separate drive that can
be removed. The memory chips, which is where the term flash storage
comes in, are directly connected to the motherboard. This allows Apple
to save space, as all the overheads of the drive are removed, and they
can place them as and where they want. The downside is upgrading is no
longer possible. SSD use the same flash storage inside their drive cases.

You are correct, of course. Using actual "SSDs" means that
notebooks/laptops can be made no smaller/thinner than they can using HDDs
(ignoring heat considerations). Apple wanted to maximise the advantage of
Flash storage in terms of size.
Is anyone else using Flash in this way, other than in phones and tablets?

I'm glad you like it, IIRC you were hesitant.
A simple web search will bring up many answers to the question of what a SSD is. And you would figure out that it is a solid state drive. If you want a more in depth answer, then do a web search.

> Apple's "File Merge" which is free and part of 'Developer Tools'. It might be worth having a look -- I am assuming it is possible to download it from the 'App Store' separately without the rest of the developer stuff. I don't know if it would be better than BBEdit for your purposes.

Thanks guys, but as far as I can tell both File Merge and DiffMerge fall into the same camp as some of the others. That is, they're good at *merging* the contents of two files such that every item appearing in each file will appear once and only once in the resulting merged file. What I'm looking for � and I may not be wording it clearly � is something to ensure that items from the first file are removed from the second file.
Some proposed solutions may do this, but don't fall under my "quick and easy" requirement. I appreciate all of your suggestions but will just handle this one manually.
Thanks also for mentioning DirectMail, Randy. That's way more than I need right now, but looks like a good prospect for some other projects down the road.
Best,
Dane

I'm sure that this could be done with a Unix script, although I've
forgotten how. What is the format of the files? How many addresses in each?

Thanks Otto, but I've already invested too much time looking into this and have decided to proceed manually.

Randy,
What a GREAT program! I have already recommended it to a friend who needs just that - a simple way to keep in touch with her (few) clients for her home organizing business.
But I haven't been able to figure out how to use it to generate a list that includes only new addresses being added to the address list. Have you worked out a method?
I can see that it will list all addresses that are duplicates when adding a new list, but how do you reduce the list to JUST the new ones?

OK. Whichever way you do it (spreadsheet?), sort the 2 lists before you
start.

Hi,

If they are plain tex files, then 'comm' can do it for you.
Open terminal. Assuming you then have two files, A.txt and B.txt containing the two lists.

Then just run
Chris-Jones-Macbook-Pro ~ > comm -3 B.txt A.txt
C
F
to save the list that is produced to a third text file.
comm -3 B.txt A.txt | cat > C.txt
C.txt contains your list.

You could also try some of the web based email list managers like
http://www.constantcontact.com, http://mailchimp.com, or
http://www.madmimi.com.
They all have powerful reporting and I think mail chimp has a plan that is
free for very low volume.

Perl would be probably a better choice. I would open both files (say fileA & fileB), as lists, and then take B line by line looking to see if that line occurred in A. If it does, ignore it, if it doesn't then write it to file C. FileC would contain just the new lines in fileB which were not present in fileA.
It would take about half a dozen lines of script. If you would like to go down this route Dane, let me know.

It's only greyed out if no file, folder or drive has been selected
before trying to duplicate [it], since it can not duplicate "nothing".
