The definition of irony...

I wonder how well Time Machine will work for laptops though, since those only have 1 hard drive.

That is something I wonder about, too... Probably kicks in once you connect it to an external disk.

I'm considering getting some sort of NAS running and let Time Machine use a network disk to do it's thing at midnight whenever I'm home...

Wow, I thought the definition of irony was "Andrew Jackson on a central bank note".

Suddenly Wikipedia gets a flush of hits for "Andrew Jackson"...

(I hadn't heard that before, but I love it!)

I have two backup's, one is a G3 iMac 233, and the other is a Dell. I'm on the iMac for now, waiting for a Mini. The Dell is my backup's backup.

You can use it with a single internal disk, but naturally if your hard drive bites it, Time Machine won't be able to save you. I also wouldn't use Time Machine as a backup solution in and of itself, since it's not system-wide.

They don't make 'em like they used to. These Intel machines are wrecking their drives!
