I drag it back to my desktop. Brilliant. The only niggle is that it takes off every hour or so, so if you have a loud hard disk it sits there grumbling away for a few minutes now and again. No biggie.
If you don't have a Time Capsule as such, any large disk will do fine as long as it's more or less connected at all times. I wouldn't bother with your laptops if you don't generate actual work on them - like documents or photos. The main work machine however - absolutely! 
Oh - you might enjoy this on your MacBook - the one that runs SkySafari: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/33578/redscreen
Run it at night - it's fantastic. A very nice deep shade of red that means you don't need to use red film. |
