Stump Dear Abby [JOKE]

From railroad Richey

Dear Abby admitted she was at a loss to answer the following - -

Dear Abby, A couple of women moved in across the hall from me. One is a middle-aged gym teacher and the other is a social worker in her mid twenties. These two women go everywhere together and I've never seen a man go into or leave their apartment. Do you think they could be Lebanese?

Dear Abby, What can I do about all the sex, nudity, fowl language and violence on my VCR?

Dear Abby, I have a man I can't trust. He cheats so much, I'm not even sure the baby I'm carrying is his.

Dear Abby, I am a twenty-three year old liberated woman who has been on the pill for two years. It's getting expensive and I think my boyfriend should share half the cost, but I don't know him well enough to discuss money with him.

Dear Abby, I've suspected that my husband has been fooling around, and when confronted with the evidence, he denied everything and said it would never happen again.

Dear Abby, Our son writes that he is taking Judo. Why would a boy who was raised in a good Christian home turn against his own?

Dear Abby, I joined the Navy to see the world. I've seen it. Now how do I get out?

Dear Abby, My forty year old son has been paying a psychiatrist $50.00 an hour every week for two and a half years. He must be crazy.

Dear Abby, I was married to Bill for three months, and I didn't know he drank, until one night he came home sober.

Dear Abby, My mother is mean and short tempered. I think she is going through mental pause.

Dear Abby, You told some woman whose husband had lost all interest in sex to send him to a doctor. Well, my husband lost all interest in sex and he is a doctor. Now, what do I do?

Happy Hard Drive Stories by Jeeps



---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: macppl@gmail.com <macppl@gmail.com >
Date: Dec 7, 2007 12:29 PM
Subject: Happy Hard Drive Stories
To: iMac List <imaclist@googlegroups.com>


One of the unfortunate drawbacks of computer life, hard drives!
They just don't last forever. No matter how many times you've heard it
said, are you really ready for that day?
So yes, it did happen to me.
First on my old 6100 AV, then later on my G4.

External hard drives become a necessity for backups early on, I can't
imagine that I survived the days of the 250 mb hard drive. I don't
even want to recall those days.

Let me share my current set up for those using macbooks and macbook
pros this might be helpful.
If you have other ideas, please comment.

I am using the MacBookPro I purchased in April of 2006.
In just about one year from that the date the computer failed to burn
and would hang up.
I took the laptop down to the local Apple Store and they agreed to
replace the mechanism free of charge.

I have a ton of video I want to digitize and boy does that fill up
your drives fast!

So here are some of my solutions:

1. I use the Universal USB 2.0 from NewerTechnology to plug into my
old hard drives to access data.
Uses the USB port on your macbookpro and works fine for temporary
service.
I also bought some silcon rubber covers for the internal hard drives
to keep them protected.

2. I was advised by the Apple Store genius to purchase DiskWarrrior to
repair and recover files that I couldn no longer access and thought I
had lost on my old G4.
( I had to await the intel version which wasn't the one available at
the store when I purchased but was sent to me months later by
Alsoft ). It found the data for me to my great relief!

3. To access older VHS tapes and digitize them I use eyeTV hybrid.
This also uses the USB to access your computer. You can EXPORT the
hybrid file to iMovie to edit.
This is the least expensive way I have found to transfer my old tapes.

4. To handle all this I found the recent Iomega "UltraMax" USB/
FIREWIRE/eSATa external hard drive.
This 500 Gig external HD is fast and is bootable. It is also pre-
initialized for use with your Mac!
I am using the FW port.

5. To transfer my old HI 8 tapes I am using a friends HI 8 camcorder
and a FW cord.
This FW cord can piggy back on to the "UltraMax" hard drive in the
back so I don't have to switch the FW
input on the laptop. You can control the camcorder directly from
imovie to watch and record.

6. The "Ultramax" comes with backup software, I won't mention the name
as some folks love using it, but I much prefer to use SuperDuper (R) to
back up and update my files. If you have the purchased version you
will get the full functionality. This is the easiest, user friendly
backup software I have found yet.
I back up my laptop once a week, but you can schedule it to backup the
way you like.

Summary:
Hard Drives are a fact of life. If you care about all the work you
have done and can't imagine losing it, you simply MUST take the time
to figure out how to back it up.
PS: For "on line" back ups Google up the topic at MacWorld.

Someday I hope we can "flash" all of our data and not even worry about
hard drive failures.
