Been on Mac since they first arrived in 1984. Yes, I'm old. Mail used to not allow multiple accounts so Entourage has been my mail client of choice. I recently upgraded my entire Office suite to the latest Mac release. Entourage's rules work great (I've used them for years), but I have almost 100 rules (specific folders where incoming messages go instantly). Sometimes the rules don't work for some reason, even though the message fits the criteria. Microsoft, go figure.

SuperDuper is just that. I've used it for a couple of years and my backup life has never been easier. There's not a better backup program out there (for the Mac).

As always, Matt. I enjoy checking your site and reading what's up with you.

FYI, I'm growing very tempted to buy a WII.

Mail's simplicity is glorious, and I've been using filtered rules to keep me sane for a while not, but I'm still lacking in the backup world. I need to get on that action. Thanks for the resources. Imma hookup some super duper / time machine goodness a.s.a.p.

On another note, what comment plugin are you using for the threaded replies?

I definitely advocate backups. Speaking from personal experience, having your hard drive fail with no warning at all tends to ruin your day. Newegg will be getting some of my money soon for a new external hard drive.

Great post, Matt. Setting up rules now. And I also adopted Shawn's bulletproof backups.

I might not be a Mac OS fan, but wow, they do have some clean looking equipment and accessories. Everything at your work desk is clean, relatively wire free, and very nice. I should probably get a back-up device some day, when I head off to college my laptop so far is on its own. I dread the day when everything just crashes.

Certain Games, such as Grand Theft Auto (the 3D versions) Beat em up's (Such as Tekkon) and Driving Games, should ALL IMO be played on Games Consoles.

FPS, MMORPG and a few others PC only. And yes I know you can put a mouse in your Sex Box or your PS2/3 but still… PC?!

PC's are not the problem, its the operating system that drives the large percentage of them or not if your using Vista. If someone release a "GAME Only" OS.. like the OS on a X-Box PC's would absolutely own. The only problem with this is Drivers.

This is why Mac OS is NOT "Officially" able to run on PC's as they deem the mass of drivers a "Stability Issue".

ooooh. Talking about the merits of PC gaming to a Console man…. this could get interesting!
