Time Capsule. Slick. I want one.
But it won't solve my problem; a full hard drive on my trusty old Mac iBook. Darn. At Macworld Expo 2008 Steve Jobs introduced Apple's new Time Capsule automatic backup system which combines a large hard drive with a WiFi base station. Slick. This and OS X Leopard's new Time Machine feature makes backups automatic and effortless. Just what I need - effortless. I know, it's not a lot of effort to get out the portable drive and plug it in, but do I do it often enough? No. Time Machine has made it so much simpler to back up that I'm better at it but still not diligent enough. Gotta work on that diligence thing. But I want a Time Capsule. And a slick MacBook Air would be nice too. Dream on John....

Others Choose the Path of Healing
The labor camp in Erfurt and, after the war, the refugee camp in Mainz were all I knew when I came here [from Germany] in 1947 at the age of seven. Like many camp survivors, it was not the experience itself that dogged me as much as the why of it. The why seems clearer every day: those who see themselves as victims, nations included, have license to commit these things. Others choose the path of healing.
