Back to the original post, I believe Andrew's main concern was, "Fuck, Customs took my computer, and now I have to spend $4k to get a new one configured for what I need, and spend the time loading my software and last data backup."
<gripe> Why do people only back up their data? If you just back the entire machine up, all you have to do is restore it. Restoring software and configuring takes me orders of magnitude more time than restoring a backup. For many applications these days, the data is so much larger any way. I've not understood the point in backup software that can't do a bare metal restore. </gripe> David -- KPLUG-List@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
