Time Machine - Waste Of Time

Well I have researched, installed, and unistalled Apple Time Machine. The version hat comes with the new iMac. I have to say it was a bad idea. I tried to use it to back up my desk top and purchased an external 120 gig hard drive from Rugged. The hard drive is awesome but the idea that you can back up a 300 gig hard drive on a 120 gig hard drive is not a good one.

Most of the users this product is targeted to is novice computer users. More advanced users have back up procedures and habits in place. So for the novice, if they are not careful, there natural instict wil be to back up the entire machine. There are no warnings or notifications to the user that this is a bad idea. They get in a crisis and learn that they only have a fraction of the data they thought they did.

I would say remove Time Machine and use whatever External Hard drive (I like the Rugged series) to back up there important information. I also recommend that you move your iTunes and iPhoto library to another external hard drive. This configuration has saved me lots of times with my G5.

Mac OS X and Windows Vista - Nothing But Problems

Well having Vista on my Imac has proven futile. I do not use it and I am still unable to get on the internet. I can not find any help since Windows doesn't support Mac and vice versa. I am sure that if I update windows vista it would resolve the problem but without a way to get online I am unsure of how this is possible...

Not Using Dual Boot Don't Waste Your Money

I have not been using the dual boot for anything. I am now trying to figure out how to uninstall it.

I find if I want to use a PC, I use a PC.

Oh Well
