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....

Research shows that language suppresses visual memory, This is called verbal overshadowing and is a well-established phenomenon .... For example, in one study people watched a short videotape of a bank robbery, then spent twenty minutes doing something unrelated. Then one group spent five minutes writing down everything they could remember about the bank robber's face, while the other group did an unrelated task.
