Thanks, Dave. I will give it a try this weekend sometime when I work up the nerve and the kids are in bed (so they don't learn any new words!). I'll let you know how it goes.
One other thing that I read elsewhere (Joe Kissell's "Take Control of Mac OS X Backups") in regards to iTunes said that you should "Deauthorize" your computer from within iTunes when you are going to erase and restore from a backup (something to do with iTunes music store tracks playing on a limited number of computers). You then reauthorize after restoring. I guess I will do this unless I hear from you that it is crazy.
Thanks again for your help!
