Welcome to "The Mac Attack" (no it has nothing to do with fast food cravings). This first episode focuses on backing up your data. You wouldn't believe how many people don't. You back up, don't you???

Here are the links to the sites I spoke about on the show:

Retrospect back up software - http://www.dantz.com
Mac.com - http://www.mac.com

Full system backup software:
Carbon Copy Cloner - http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
SuperDuper - http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html

Next week we will delve into the world of shareware, freeware, and must have software.

As always any questions or comments can be emailed to steve@stevecom.com

Talk to you soon,
-Steve

(Note: Please don't judge the show by the audio quality of this first episode. I didn't realize that the audio is not up to par when listened to on quality speakers. I think the subject matter is important if you can get past the audio on this first episode. The audio on the second episode is much, much better. UPDATE 8/20/05- I went back to the original multi-track recording and tried to EQ out some of the noise and popping. It is a little better than the original release )
