Yeah, but their service is often incredibly slow and that's if you're lucky and don't get a error message saying "Oh no I can't connect to the server where this data is supposedly housed!". It sounds like they should try to poach one of Google's engineers and fix up their cup and string setup with something much more robust and resilient. To be honest although it's a nice service to have, the low amount of integrity provided by the service makes it a bit of a pita to use ..I definitely wouldn't use the service as a representation of something you should model your backup plan after. -- Best Regards, John Musbach --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
