all the time. I actually had the pleasure of meeting *Bob* Albrecht along

A PPC is a kick-ass bit twizzler compared to a MIPS.

Both are RISC processors. But I think the MIPS went
a tiny bit too far. The PPC has a barrel shifter, as
any RISC could, and the PPC gives fairly good control
over it. The PPC also

A SSH login on it takes 5 seconds
of SW crunching to exchange the keys. The sad part
is that its predecessor only takes 7 seconds to do

I do not like optical storage either. Capacity is too small and they're

I think we need to reverse the thought process here and ask from another

of backup to 2nd set of drives, easy of use, quiet & energy efficient. I

I would also avoid a Time Machine, as they have a less than stellar reputation
for reliability.
For what you spend on a Time Machine you could have the makings of a pretty
decent RAID box that would give you a lot more flexibility along with
redundancy.

I can tell you from direct experience that you probably don't want a Drobo FS,
their NAS solution.
The only caveat here is if speed is not an issue, such as for backups or
archiving.
The FS is a slug across a GB network, and often has enough latency to cause
issues with high bandwidth media.
Unless it was a Linux based appliance that cost less than the NAS.

If I was going to go the 2nd computer route, I'd just get a MacMini and
hang the external drives off that. I was really looking for a simple NAS
that had high throughput. I've seen USB-NAS devices for $40 but I can't
imagine backing up a few TB through USB.

Hey all,
I've got about 1.2TB in Lossless music files from my ripped CD collection,
etc. I ripped in Lossless so I would never need to do it again. Then I
converted everything to AAC128 for iTunes. That way it fits on my laptop
hard drive, and makes it relatively easy to sync with my iPod. The
