I have had a hate-hate relationship with Time Machine. It never ran very well on my Early 2008 MacBook, even after I installed an SSD in it. As I type this, I'm ironing out the last wrinkles in getting TM to work with this 13" MBP. Of course this will be a temporarily solution because....
On the Vineyard I had a long talk with my mum about computers, and she's decided that she wants to upgrade from the late 2002 iBook she's been using. One can hardly blame her. I'd have approached this subject sooner, but I learned a long time ago to offer my mother new technology as she's willing to accept it. What this means is I'll be buying another new MBP, this time a 15" quad core. Then I will be transferring all my data from this 13" MBP to it. Of course, I bought Apple Care for the 13" so I'll have to call Apple and transfer it to her name. It's my understanding that AAPL are pretty willing to do that. Anyone have any experience in that area?
