Mac Repair Darnestown, and Gaithersburg.
We brought an Imac G5 back from the dead. The power supply had failed, taking with it the Logic Board, and the hard drive. Lucky for us, and Jim D. the power problem had not killed off the hard drive all together. It was damaged, but we were able to get much of the data off of it.
One more little example in the list of Mac, and Windows PC differences. If you have a Mac, you can download the Apple Backup program, commonly called backup 3.
Backup 3 allows you to backup all of your personal settings to your iDisk. But, — and please correct me if I am wrong — it does not seem to automatically backup your e-mails. From what I can tell, it grabs the settings, but not the actual e-mails. Could it be that Apple assumes that all of it’s users use IMAP e-mail where the mail stays on the server? I have nothing against IMAP e-mail — been using it myself for years, but most people I run into are using POP3. So be careful with the Mac Backup 3 program. You may need to set up a custom backup job it you want to save your old e-mails.
