My dear Mr Sessions,
Not my name BTW ...
In your menu bar at the top of the screen, Time Machine has an Icon
of a clock face surrounded by
...
Your statement is all quite vague.
I'll try to make it more explicit.
I want Time Machine to go to hell and never darken my door again. It is
an abomination.
The computer belongs to the school, and I'm not allowed to change any of
the settings on the computer.
But I can do whatever I want with my own drive.
On a Windoze box, there's a little bit of code on the drive, probably in
Autorun.inf (that's where I'd put it), where I can store my settings.
When I plug that drive into my Windoze box it looks into that file and
finds out that I told it I wanted it to do whenever I plug this drive in.
The first time I plug a the drive into windoze it asks me what I want to
do. One of the options is not to do anything.
Another of the options is to do "not to do anything" every time I plug
that same drive into a windoze box.
And it stores that instruction "not to do anything" on the drive itself
where it will always find the instruction "not to do anything" when I
plug that drive in.
Everyone keeps telling me how much better Mac is than windoze, but they
can't figure out something as simple as how to store a "not to do
anything" instruction on a hard drive, and Micro$soft can?
