Your Laptop and Going On Holiday!

[Hustle]

Hey. I'm new here, so i'd just like to say Hi. I do notice a few of you from Mac-Forums.com and YouTube.com.

I was just wondering, when you go away on holiday/vacation, do you take you Mac Laptop/Or one of those black and white Windows Laptops, with you?.

Welcome!

I take my laptop wherever I go usually. I even hauled my iBook around Europe for a month. The only time I will think about not taking it with me is when/if I get an iPhone.

Hi Hustle, and welcome!

to answer your question, yes, I take my iBook with me, even when it was new I took it everywhere.

I am very careful with it, of course. I saw it's there to use, why have a great laptop and leave it at home?

If you're worried about it being stolen, I guess you could turn filevault on.

I actually turnt filevault off. I turnt it on for that reason, however, when i deleted things out of my home folder, the space wasn't being given back. It was still being used.

Anyway, all of my personal data and stuff that cannot be replaced, is uploaded to iDisk every week.

Thanks for the reply's guys.

I never turned it on, like I said, I'm quite protective of my laptop (and all my electronics for that matter!). I was always afraid of file corruption - not that I've heard any horror stories, but from what I've read, there is no recovery

Thats what i heard. FileVault encrypts files into one big file on its own, and therefore, if one file gets corrupt, you lose it all.

Anyway, i think i should go back on topic.

I was also banned by Schweb yesterday. That guy seriously should not be an Admin/Moderator there. I'll go and re-register later though.

Thanks for the replys everyone.
