These approaches would be pretty effective but I'm too lazy to adopt any routine that involves taking things offsite, which is why I would prefer an online offsite backup. Until I find one that meets my nitpicky criteria I'll remain vulnerable howe…

I'm glad your panic attack has abated. I'm finding that the older I get the more of a big deal it would be if I were to lose everything. I keep a lot of important stuff on my computer now and I'm old enough that I've been doing it long enough th…

I don't mind your questions because I've done the same thing so it's not like I have to rack my brains or anything. I think you're right to recognize this as a problem where you want the solution to be one that will "screw up the least" because I …

I guess what you could try is booting off your external drive again (by reversing the steps above), then use Super Duper to clone your external drive over to your internal one. I think that will work in theory but personally I'd be reluctant... if …

I have the current versions of both and they're both really good. Some people seem to have strong preferences for one or the other though. If I were you I'd download the demo of each and install my OEM Windows on both and compare them. You don't …

dunno. Let us know what you end up getting; would be interesting to know if they've changed them.

Good luck with that.

That sucks, pantsotron. On the other hand, maybe you can use this time to upgrade to a bigger drive. When my 100 GB macbook HD died last week I replaced it with a 200 GB Hitachi 7200 rpm drive. Twice as big and faster too! And they seem to be a …

This is a problem for me on my MacBook for some screensavers but not others. On my iMac none of the screensavers seem to be a problem. I think some are more processor-intensive than others. Are you finding this with all screensavers or just certa…

Wow, this is like Twilight Zone. The hard drive on my MacBook died just this morning (the day I had to do a major presentation with it of course), and then I come home and read this! Mine's a Seagate but not one of the models they listed though. …

I installed the update 4 days and 3 hours ago, and my iMac has been up continuously for 4 days and 3 hours. It hasn't been up for more than a day without a freeze before this, so my feeling and my guess is that the problem is solved (for me, anyway…

I know what you mean about arrogant comments to people's posted problems. I would also add the word "condescending" to describe some of the unhelpful replies I've seen to posts of people having trouble. Good on you for having the courage to post a…
