Hello You may have to kiss OSX good by forever At the recent Macworld expo in NYC , I specifically asked an Apple Exhibitor what do Apple Techs use "in the Apple lab" to clone OSX onto a backup drive. His answer: CarbonCopy Cloner 1.1!!!!!!!! albert BTW. My personal story: I am back permanently with OS9.2.2. Due to a drive corruption, I had to erase my 10.1.5.( after ~5 months of working OK Pulled out my old OSX installation disc ($99 full price at CompUSA back in the Fall of 2001) to redo the installation process. After getting --cannot write files to this disc--error messages , inspection of the CD revealed a one inch scratch ! I have no intentions of buying a new CD, and have no local buddy for a "loaner". Upside: Now running a RAID setup/ a SIIG ATA 133/100 / two 40GB IBM drives on my B&W 500/1MB / OS9.2.2 that blows OS10.1.5 speed out of the water! Downside: I have invested mucho $ for OSX carbonized applications (Apple Works, Quicken, STFfaxX, ViewScan,Graphic Converter) Upside : they are all backward compatible except for STFfaxX. Upside: Did not loose any personal files, since I am a backup nut with an 30GB external FW drive, an external 4GB SCSI drive, an Internal ZIP drive and burned CDs -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
