I guess I got lucky then, because that's exactly how I backed up my iPod, or transferred my tunes to a new computer--using the iPod as a hard drive with no extra software. In through the window...

Me too. When my computer crashed, I was able to transfer the songs from my iPod to the new computer. It was a nightmare of reformatting, but the data was there.

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

Woot is selling refurbished HP Touchpads for $220.

Huh. Cool. I just found a system backup tool that will copy my Win 7 "libraries" and app data folders, etc, to my network drive on a daily schedule.

I don't know if it's supported by IT, but I just took a load off of my shoulders.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Kinda looks like one of the grad students here, if he let his beard grow out.

I know my computer's getting old, but I'm still wondering if y'all can help me out.I've been having this problem where big Windows updates and running my Trend Micro AV at night are causing blue screens.I had a technician come out and he looked at the logs and removed stuff and the problem stopped for a week. Any thoughts about what he did? Thanks.

Trust my rage

My business currently uses all Macs and absolutely depends on a database program that uses Safari and Adobe to support its forms. Since July, the latest version of Safari has been incompatible with adobe, which means the forms don't work. We had a workaround but it is getting impossibly cumbersome.

I am at the point where I am ready to buy a cheap Windows laptop (with wifi) just to access this program. I have no other use for this computer. But I also have no idea what to buy since I have been Mac only for 10+ years. Any suggestions?
