In his article, "A Week with an eMac Finds It an Excellent Value,"  I
noticed that Dan used Carbon Copy Cloner to copy his internal HD to an
external HD.  I checked out Carbon Copy Cloner's web site, to find out 
that
it makes bootable backups of your hard drive.

When I bought an external HD, I backed up my entire internal HD in one
drag-and-drop operation, including the applications and the files.  
Should I
assume that I did NOT make a bootable backup?  I'm on an iMac DV 400.
If you're using OS9? Then the drag and drop would be OK. If you're 
using OS X?  Then you do not have a bootable back up. You do want CCC 
(a great utility) for that. CCC is very easy to use, works great and 
does what it promises.
