"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

two things:

1) if you are networked, I have heard good things about drobo. here is a coupon code for it from a show I listen to a lot. however, I do not use drobo and cannot offer any personal testimony. This coupon nets me nothing personally.

if you use drobo, then what you could do is get additional hard drives and store 1-2 of them off site and rotate them weekly, etc.

2) if you want in the cloud solutions, this is decent: [link]

you might try mozy (I have heard good things about it, but I didn't like it on my mac), and [link]

Hi le nubian. Thanks. The Drobo sounds good. The FS sounds like it would be very reliable for network storage. The coupon you linked has no deals on the FS, but there is good deal via eaegis. Anyone have any experience buying through them or heard anything. Not on consurmist at least ...

try the coupon code: MACBREAKWEEKLY

I think it should work around checkout.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Ginger, I'm not sure I followed that. Is it the new PC that doesn't work right, now? Does the same monitor still work okay with the other computer? Are you getting any POST beeps at all?

The new PC doesn't work. The same monitor that worked on the old PC worked fine on this one until yesterday, when everything stopped working.

The new PC will turn on and off, at least by the sound and the light on the On button, but won't recognize the monitor or the HDMI TV which was happily hooked up as a second monitor. The new PC makes one tiny beep when turned on with the On button.

Anyone have any advice about using Google Analytics? My boss - and her boss - want to get web traffic information and are too cheap to pay for anything (I mean ANYTHING ... aside from my time). I'm a little hesitant about it.

Comments?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What are your hesitations? Our corporate guys have used it, rather than get into the shenanigans of host-based activity reports.

I thought I'd get some advice before we jumped in - if others have used it for corporate website without problems, if there had been problems, etc.

I mean, why have a hivemind technology thread if I'm not going to use it?

Thanks for the info!
