Hi Guys
A couple of the recent threads highlights the fact that even the latest computers crash... it's a fact of life. I guess we wouldn't expect to buy a new car and expect absolutely faultless operation without at least a little service attention. I am not an IT person, nor have I played one in a movie, and I don't sell the stuff...
Anyway, the previous year has seen me chew up two PC laptops and become really dissatisfied with PC overall. Anyway I threatened to jump to Mac after the first failure... after the third crash on my second laptop, I jumped. I get to salary sacrifice one laptop per year, but Mac is still considerably more to purchase than most PC stuff, and coining up still hurts.
I thought I'd note my pleasure at my new running gear... MacBook Pro 2.4hertz and 2meg RAM, and the best bit of gear... "Time Capsule" which is PC compatible but made by Apple. It is a 1 terrabyte hard drive with a N spec wireless protocol 'base station' function. Basically it is my wireless router for my home network and it automatically (and wirelessly) backs up each computer on my network to its hard-drive several times a day. It is a $600 odd jobbie, but in the really unlikely event of an Apple crash - I always have a backup
Feel free to chime in with your set ups and any advice that helps us stay online!
Cheers
