does make a call to the server for its backup folder and my documents

fast.


When the time comes that I need a new computer, I am definitely going to
look for a hard disk-less model. I'll get one with the SSD drive an
use "The Cloud" for mass storage, if needed.




My iMac desktop comes off of AppleCare soon, so I am thinking of selling
it and getting a new iMac in 2014, one with only an SSD. I have a ton of
software on my current iMac, and am only using 190 GBs of a 1000 GBs
drive, so I think a 500 GBs SSD will be more than sufficient. I keep all
my text, data, music and movie files on my server, and on a separate
"critical stuff" backup drive, and I keep some of the music in "the cloud."
