Re: Auto-backing up
It looks like you run Mac stuff; I wonder if they have this type of thing: Windows 2000/XP have an under-appreciated feature called "Offline Files." This lets me take an automatically synced copy of any folder from a completely separate (also Windows 2000/XP) machine on a network, and make it available to me whether I'm connected or not. So, I've created all my data folders on my desktop, which I then make accessible offline. When I'm connected, Windows maintains my data in *both* locations; when I disconnect, changes are monitored in each locatin, and synced when I return. So if either machine disappears or dies, you have a complete copy of data. If they both burn up, well, then you have your CDs you make periodically, and keep at the bank, right? :) It all works very much like online/offline email. I don't know what Mac's support is for something like this. I did look into external drives once, but Ethernet is so much faster, and usually you have a big hard drive in another computer somewhere hanging around. Good luck! David LaRocque
