Someone finally speaks the truth. I get weary of reading about people going ga-ga over the overly done glass in Vista/7. It's one of the most hideous looking designs I've ever seen. And they've made it much worse (glassier) in 7. At first, it's nice. Then after a few hours, it starts to annoy the crap out of you. You can't concentrate on what you are doing because of that damn glass screaming "look at me!" I remember when Windowsblinds introduced transparency support for window borders. Who would've thought that Microsoft would take the gimmicky fad, and use it for an actual operating system. However, the glass is not among the worst. They've really screwed up the navigation, also. But, that's another story. After XP has lost support for new hardware/software. I will move to a Linux/Mac based desktop. Oh, my goodness. Someone finally speaks the truth.

I'm always moving my iMac around to watch movies from the couch and it loosens the firewire plug over time. That’s a different error which is not Time Machine specific.

That error sounds like your backup drive is disconnecting from your machine somehow. I use Time Machine with Time Capsule.

He makes everything about Apple hinge on his word and now he wants to disassociate from it. Well it's going to hurt coming apart like a bandaid on a hairy ass. And that hurt is going to come via investor uncertainty. If I invested in Apple based on the nicely groomed perception that they create for us, why shouldn't I be mad if they are trying to hide the fact that the reality doesn't reflect that perception any longer? I say sue 'em and let's all go get a Palm Pre! Steve Jobs made his Reality Distortion bed and can lie in it.

But I do gotta say, when it finally gets over the errors, it's pretty awesome! But I found that when "setup was checking video performance" it was a bug that it stayed there for half an hour. I restarted in the middle of it and it worked like a charm. :) ya no problem!! But I do gotta say, when it finally gets over the errors, it’s pretty awesome!
