Well I am glad that I just got this unit, today my flat was burgled and my iBook (a white one) was taken, in the case was, yup my ipod and my GPS unit, a garmin e-map.
I suppose the worst is that they took my old blue iBook, which was my sons now (and he is only 4, so he was not taking it quite so stoically). note to self, actually remember to get contents insurance sorted :( now, how do we lo-jack laptops so that in future i could get it back (now that is a whole privacy can of worms). Actually the unit is less important, its the data isn't it. Any good backup solutions / strategies anyone can suggest? cheers, mark (having a miserable day).
