Quite a few of my “Mac” buddies have been asking me if I use [Leopard’s] Time Machine and what I think of it, how it compares to Backup (Apple’s other backup application), and how I like my new Time Capsule, which I’ve been using for about a month now (I went with the 1TB model, which I’ll explain in more detail in a different post). Although I do read other people’s reviews, I try to stay open-minded and give myself enough time with something new before I form an opinion of my own, and for me a month is about right.

Well, there’s a lot to cover. And even though Time Machine and Time Capsule work together beautifully (as they were made to), they are two separate products, so I think it’s best to review each separately. I’ll start with the easiest of the two, Time Machine and do my best to compare it to Backup. I still use both applications and I’ll explain why following my comparison. Read the rest of this entry »

Need some *ahem* protection for your Apple iPod, iPhone, or Keyboard? Then you have to check out iSkin’s Spring Cleaning Sale going on now to the end of April.

I have several of their keyboard skins (for both my PowerMac and PowerBook) – primarily because here in Arizona you just can’t stay ahead of the dust and the iSkin keyboard skins do a great job of keeping my keyboards clean, so I don’t have to.

They even has a few varieties of their Revo Case for iPhone on sale (I use one for my iPhone and love it – you can read my review of the Revo Case here). I highly recommend this case for anyone who is even slightly prone to dropping phones.

Great styles, great prices, what’s not to love? Excuse me, but I’m off to do a little shopping…..

(P.S. This is a completely uncompensated plug for iSkin, just because I love them XOXO)
