Working the Time Machine

A new feature in leopard on the Mac is "time machine"

If you can devote a hard drive to this function it will back up all of your work and step you back a piece at a time until you fine life was wonderful. You can then restore your Mac back to that Nirvanic stage when you were not swearing at your computer. Unlike my sweet sister who names her computer, I refuse to do so for this very reason. When life gets rough you and you want to unleash an epitaph upon your computer you want want to do it to "precious." Or in my sister's case, Barry Bondi.. well maybe with recent news developing regarding steroid case.

So my new 24 inch gem of a computer has been working all night and most of the day to back up my hardives with my systems and programs so that this Time machine feature will be accessed. I bought a 1 Tb hard drive for this purpose. What really made it possible was the purchase of a 350 external hard drive for data collection. This allow the 1 TB to be erased and repurposed for the time machine. The time machine requires the sum of all the backuped hard drives and then some. When it first came out it looked like a pipe dream. Hard drive memory is so inexpensive now, it makes it possible. The 1Tb I bought at Costco for 135.

Sorry to hear that Linzi is having difficulty with getting her Iphone screen repaired. You just want it done and back to you as soon as possible. My daughters are text junkies so you know how that is devasating her,

Rained today.. some.. Stay out of it
