The reason for my asking about backing up files is due to some sad news. Two days ago I lost my dog to illness. She was my best friend for 12 1/2 years, and all of the photos that I have of her are stored on the computer. I can not lose these files.
Out of curiosity I went to the Apple website to see what what's new in computers. If I bought a new 'puter it would solve the problem of my current unit being so outdated. But the Mac Mini @ around $600 is just a single drive machine, and the next thing up (desktop) starts at around $2500. !! They need something priced in-between.
I really don't know what to do just now. I am not able to think real clearly, obviously. Money is super tight right now (unemployed) but I am freaking a bit thinking I might lose these files. I will have to step back for a bit and give my head some time to clear.
Just wanted to say THANKS to everyone for they advice given.
Phil
P.S. To the person who asked about my current HD, it is a 75 Gig and I have about 60 Gig avail.
