For the average, non-commercial user, how much really "important" data
is kept on a computer that could blow up at any time?

The "cloud" really isn't for storage of important data either but I'll
bet 90 percent of the user created files stored on a hard drive could be
safely stored in the cloud, especially since there are multiple storage
spaces that can add redundancy. .



Got a notice from Apple today that my new BTO iMac is "in
manufacturing," and will arrive either the end of next week or the
beginning of the following week, and that I will get a tracking email
when it is on the plane or truck or whatever.

I still have not a clue as to where it is being assembled...here, China,
or, I have recently learned, in Ireland. The last one took a trip from
Shanghai to Tokyo to Anchorage to Memphis to here.
