Just like any good application backup is advised. Evernote is a great example. Cloud based solution. Available anywhere. However, having a local copy of all of my notes is awesome. Shane,

If a router/fiber connection/etc. goes out at our ISP, then we can be out for minutes or hours...then there would be no access to those apps. So do you then keep a mirrored backup on site that you power up when needed...or keep it in active standby...which kind of defeats the purpose. Ron,

I really hope nothing happens to TweetDeck because I'd miss your Twitter updates. If Twitter really bought and shelved TweetDeck, I have to hope another equally awesome client would surface.

]]> Comment on Reason 134.5 why I like Apple (and the Apple OS) by Steven Erat http://www.notronwest.com/blog/2011/04/11/reason-134-5-why-i-like-apple-and-the-apple-os/comment-page-1/#comment-220 Steven Erat Tue, 12 Apr 2011 01:29:49 +0000 http://www.notronwest.com/blog/?p=422#comment-220 Glad to hear it worked out for you. I have to agree that restoring a Mac from a backup is as you say, Amazing. I've replaced hard drives on my MBP a couple times, once due a hard drive crash from an accident, and another time as an upgrade (to 1TB). On both occasions I installed a new hard drive from OWS, super simple to do except my fingers are too big and fumble with those teeny screws, but still. Then boot the computer from an install DVD, run disk utility to format the new hard drive, then choose to restore from Time Machine. During my upgrade I had 550GB of stuff on Time Machine, so it took 3-4 hours. But overall the process was painless, so big thanks to Apple for making it all work so smoothly.
