Thursday

It looks like today's weather will be a lot like yesterday's weather. I may spend the day holed up in the house again.

I wonder if we're going to have another rainy spring like last year's...

Also: I got the Mac back up using the Time Machine feature built into Leopard. I've decided this thing is worth its weight in gold.

Years ago, I did regular backups to a tape drive using Arcadia/Veritas/Norton backup for the PC. But drives got bigger than the tapes could hold and tape, although cheaper than a hard drive, was still slow and expensive.

Nowadays, hard drives are dirt cheap compared to where they were even five years ago. So I've got a one terabyte drive (which didn't even exist back in my PC days) set up just for backups.
