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

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."

I'm sure you believe every word you typed, deadbeat.
