[Casper] Issues with Time machine script.

[Eric Young]

oh excellent.  It is currently set per user... and as after.  I will  
adjust this.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
