Interesting post. We have 3 Macs in our house. One of the first Titanium G4 Powerbooks which is almost 9 years old, a 4 year old G5 20″ iMac and a 6 month 24″ Intel iMac. The Powerbook has never let me down. It needed a new power supply around 2 years ago and the finish is a little battered but it is as good as new.

Although the younger machines have also never let me down there is something bomb proof about the older hardware. It’s just a feeling but I think the Powerbook will still be going in another 10 years.

Thanks for the info. A friend recommended Jungle Disk, which backs your data up to the Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service). I've been using it and like it a lot, so I may end up buying it.

I use SuperDuper and back up every week. I used to back up more often, but had to use the disks for something else.

I’ve read everything I could find about backup software and SuperDuper always comes out on top. It’s easy to use, and very fast, especially after your first backup. I don’t think it’s sold in retail stores, which is the reason you didn’t find it at the Apple Store.
