Time Capsule not withstanding, someone has said TM is not meant to be
used as an as an off site backup. Could that, and programmer's
difficulty, have to do with the integrated and unusual role that the OS
X kernel plays in the backup/ restore?
That does not appear ro be the case. Reports are
But if you don't have the kernel's system event record ... which is a
critical component at least for some of the backup process ... what
happens? After the kernel creates this record... where/ how is it kept?

I have two Firewire drives daisy chained, Time Machine 1 and Time

You bought a cheap unit and got what you paid for.

You probably need a fair number of amps to drive speakers to a reasonable
volume.
There's probably a good reason portable mp3 players don't usually come with
them (maybe the really big ones could handle this).
I think you need a boom box into which you can plug the output from an mp3
player,
