Re: Mac OS X Leopard (Re: new problem)

While time machine is slick, there are other backup programs out there 
so don't let the marketing mavens at either Mac or MS force you down an 
upgrade path.

Backup is mature field that has been given new energy with all the cheap 
disk space that is now available. If all you need is backup there is no 
reason to upgrade your Operating System check out https://mozy.com/home  
 Mozy is an EMC company (same people who own VMWare). I have no 
affiliation with them but they can backup PC or Mac for about $5 a month 
with no limit on storage.Plus it's offsite which makes it far better in 
the event of a catastrophe like a fire, flooding, etc.

Of course if storage is cheap, people will store more, which means there 
be need to be more backup, therefore more storage.....

Good luck everyone with your Mac travails. -t
