Dead simple solution to the backup problem that regular folk might find complex. It reminds me of a friend of mine who is a linux guy-he was so proud of getting his first box up and running, but i remember watching him fight with atapi for a week just so the cd drive would work. It's free, but it comes at a cost. I'd rather just buy a mac and get on with my life. Another example is the new time capsule that will tie into time machine and airport utility.

Design Maturity across the board is what is needed here. The reason Apple does so well at ass-whipping so many industries, is that they realize that no one really cares about high-technology, all anyone cares about is, "how much easier is this going to make my life"? The only issue is that designing experience often comes with a high price tag, and that is what puts it on the back burner for a lot of companies. Danny,
