I really need to activate time machine for my Mac. I lost a few important files the other day and it wouldve been an easy fix with time machine. just am hard headed but now that I'm dealing with files for work I can't really afford to loose stuff like that agian.

another thing I plan to start doing at the beginning of the year is to pack files in a password protected disk images and upload them to a server once a month. if there is a is fire, theft, or I'm just somewhere else I can still get to the files. all of the stuff is already in the mac os and freeware can handle the rest.
