Glad you found it. I would *never* have thought of looking for pgAdmin, since that also is an external project and I've never used and would have had no idea that your install had it.

These "easy" installer to "help" Mac users are kind of a mixed bag; it may be nice to not have to understand as much UNIX & pg to start, but then if anything goes wrong, you're kind of lost.
