What do you Mac folk use for FTP.
If you like command-lines I've used nothing better than ncftp.
The finder can theoretically connect to FTP sites (enter an ftp://
url into Safari).
My own preference is to use scp whenever possible.
Is the xtended warranty a good idea.
IMO extended warranties are a ripoff. Retailers apply a lot of
pressure to take them as they are highly profitable.
My advice depends on what you're buying. For something like a laptop
it might be a good idea if the terms are OK - check the exclusions
thoroughly because many warranties aren't worth the paper they're
printed on.
When I bought my Mac I only bought the box - I already had a good
monitor. I figured that if the machine doesn't die inside the first
12 months then it's a pretty safe bet that it'll never die. If a HDD
died, well they're pretty cheap to replace and I'd be far more
concerned about the data and the time spent restoring my setup.
The upgrades I made within the first couple of weeks (more memory, a
second hdd) probably voided the regular warranty anyway.
