ND just came in to tell me to read the current conversation in here because it was funny.
I jumped 300 messages for tommyrot's ass?
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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!

The status is NOT quo.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why isn't there Civilization for the Mac?
It's possible that's a rhetorical question. Unless you have an answer.

So, my monitor, which is working fine on my Mac Mini right now, no longer works on my PC.
Which blows, as that's the computer with my main iTunes library, and I want to charge my iPod, but without be able to see, I can't eject it safely.

Um, tommyrot's ass seems to have distracted people from my BIG IMPORTANT need to know what backup procedure people are using for Vista, especially net-based offsite backup, which wouldn't be Vista-specific I suppose. Bonus points if I can also backup my Mac to it, and get stuff from the PC to the Mac that way....

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

In Vista, when you're in Windows Explorer (or whatever the file manager's called) can you make the directories and files display in different colors? You can in OS X, but not in XP. (In XP, you can change the image that a folder has in thumbnail view, but I don't use thumbnail view that much.)

Theo,
that is a lot of space: 180GB.
I would say that if you want to go absolute cheapest, you might want to get syncback SE (you can trial it for 30days) and get a dreamhost acct and back everything up there.
you may need webdrive if you want to backup through webdav.
