Hello again,

I considered .Mac, of course. But at the moment the MB allocation seems
rather paltry. SpyMac offers a lot of space for email but not so much

I'm a big fan of SuperDuper. I've been using it through the last few

I don't know if Backup will work w/o a .Mac account. I had started to
make my own .Mac and then thought I read somewhere that it would only
backup 2gb of data, so that's no good.

For me, Backup is very nearly useless. It offers limited options,
doesn't have much flexibility in terms of scheduling, and can't make
complete backups of your drive like CCC can. The only advantage is that
it's free with any .mac subscription.

I know that a few times I have run out of battery power completely and
probably the PRAM/backup battery has run out as well. The main battery
