if you have a new mac subscribe to .mac and with that subscription you can use a program called time capsule. this program goes through the mac server and it can, GET THIS PC HOMOS: go back to the day you purchased your computer and access ANYTHING. say you deleted your paper on accident and didnt realize until the next day or after you emptied the trash. well you can type in a day on the time capsule and it takes you to your computer hard drive on any day. so what you deleted will still be there along with anything else you had on your comp. you can even run your computer from the server... you can literally get on any mac and use everything that is on your computer. yes this is what a server does but you dont have to do anything except log in! come on that is the tip of the iceberg. if you dont like mac, then you just used it for iphoto and imovie or so you can customize the way it looks, you used NOTHING that mac is designed for.
