...For Mac users, this was the primary means of "backing up" data from the Mac's inception in 1984 to a few years after Steve Jobs introduced the iMac without a 3.5" floppy disk drive (1998) and declared the floppy disk was dead.  

...The question you have to ask yourself is "Will the computer I'm using in the future be able to read the media on which I archived my data in the past?"

...During the first few years of buying CDs, I felt the record companies &ldquo;stuck it&rdquo; to consumers by charging high prices for CDs (~$17.98) relative to the most popular format of the time, the audio cassette and by packaging CDs in the ridiculous &ldquo;longbox&rdquo; format allegedly to reduce &ldquo;shrinkage&rdquo; (i.e. shoplifting).  ...  There&rsquo;s no waste with digital downloads and their availability allows consumers to by the specific songs they want instead of being forced to buying an album for one or two songs that they like and for a low price usually around $1.

...Many times since the iMac's introduction, Apple may not have been first in releasing a clever product but it always incorporated an easy-to-use interface with its products and the hardware and software worked in tandem to provide the end users with the best experience possible.

Over the many weeks of sitting across from the table holding the computers, I noticed an interesting phenomena:  people came in, sat down, typed their papers on the Macs and documents would come out of the laser printer as if they had been professionally typeset.  ...  I got my first Macintosh, a Mac SE, in 1989 because I felt that computers in the future would be more like a Macintosh than like the kludgy MSDOS-based ones I had seen being "used" in college.

...Dad and I liked the Macintosh but he felt that there was little software available for it at the time and that it was a tad limited in terms of its memory &ndash; only 128K at the time &ndash; given it was graphical-based instead of text-based like the rest of the computers out there.

...Immediately, I could see one of Apple&rsquo;s target audiences:  older clients who may not have more extensive computing needs other than checking email, surfing the Internet wirelessly, sharing photos with friends and family, keeping their address books up today, listening to music and watching videos.    The iPad is also a surefire &ldquo;win&rdquo; for folks with desktop Macs who would like to do some light computing when away from their desktops but don&rsquo;t want to spend nearly at $1,000 or more on a Mac laptop to do so.


To be sure, with the hundreds of thousands of available iPhone/iPod Touch applications or &ldquo;apps&rdquo; at the iTunes Store and hundreds of iPad apps already out there, the functionality of the iPad will only increase.  ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>34 Years of &#x22;Thinking Different&#x22;</title><dc:creator>Eddy@TechMeBack.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>TechMeBack.com Blog</dc:subject><dc:date>2010-04-01T16:51:31-04:00</dc:date><link>http://www.techmeback.com/blog/files/think_different.html#unique-entry-id-4</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.techmeback.com/blog/files/think_different.html#unique-entry-id-4</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Jump in the DeLorean Time Machine with me and we&rsquo;ll go back to 1976 when Gerald Ford was the President of the United States, gas was 59&cent; per gallon and America hadn&rsquo;t quite celebrated its bicentennial.    In a little garage in Cupertino, California, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs created a company called, &ldquo;Apple Computer.&rdquo;  


To be sure, Apple has had its shares of ups and downs but I feel the personal computer market would not be the same if Apple had folded like many of its contemporaries such as Commodore, Atari, TRS-80.    I&rsquo;d argue we&rsquo;re better off that Apple not only survived those fragile years of its infancy but grew and prospered.  ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>No Safety Net?</title><dc:creator>Eddy@TechMeBack.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>TechMeBack.com Blog</dc:subject><dc:date>2010-08-31T00:00:00-04:00</dc:date><link>http://www.techmeback.com/blog/files/backup.html#unique-entry-id-2</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.techmeback.com/blog/files/backup.html#unique-entry-id-2</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Should your Mac&rsquo;s hard drive mechanically fail and need to be replaced with a new hard drive, you&rsquo;ll have to reinstall the operating system and then use Apple&rsquo;s Migration Assistant to restore the Time Machine-backed up data to your Mac.  ...

When I decided the time had come to get off the proverbial hamster wheel of Corporate America and start my own Macintosh consulting business, I struggled in coming up with a name that reflects what my business does.  ...
