those time machine back ups are magic. I just bought a new mac book pro (wow expensive....ouch), sold my 5 year old macbook for $550, which eased the pain a iittle. Plugged in my time machine and walla, 30 min later the installation is finished and I am up and running with everything intact......but faster and bigger on my beautiful new mac book pro. I love, love, love mac!
