Your story will help Mac users appreciate Time Machine. Once it's set up, it automagically keeps hourly backups for the past 24 hours,daily backups for the past month, and weekly backups for everything older than one month. Makes it simple to go back to a recent copy of a file you may have inadvertently messed up... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Machine_%28Mac_OS%29 Enjoy, Jim not the list. -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
