Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
tommyrot, I do back up regularly, using Carbon Copy Cloner, onto a Maxtor (I think) external hard drive. The drive is 160 GB, which was great for my iBook, which is only 60 GB. The new MPB is 250 GB, so I definitely will need a new external drive for backups.
I checked the internet speed (we have DSL, not cable), and it's averaging about 4.5 Mbps. The very rough knowledge I gleaned suggests that this is not Dark Ages slow, but still kind of poky. So maybe I don't need a new router after all.
Scarily the network speed at the PixDesign residence is now so fast (60 Mbps) that even 802.11n can't keep up. Only the hardwired machines in the office can see the full speed.
Please don't break the space-time continuum with your network speed.
I'm trying to improve the space-time continuum with it.
does that mean you are working on the transporter? With add-on enhancement of Time Travel?
ooh! does that mean I can go back and attend the first F2F?
ND, is that a business plan?
Jessica, yes. He transfers a lot of huge files through the Internet, so we pay for the stupid fast line.

I think this is code for "Uses a TARDIS."
I'm wearing a T-Shirt with a TARDIS on it today. Does that count?
