Should I change the name..?
It's a good year since my MacBook AIR arrived, and now my PC's have been replaced by a second 21.5" iMac, and relegated to 'downstairs'..
The new iMac has been named 'New Snow iMac' so it can easily be found among the many backup partitions on the five WD Passport portable drives, which I rotate on a manual basis.
Growl used to help me keep track of things, but it dropped MailMe when Snow Leopard came out :( Now I use MindNode Pro to keep track of things until Growl sorts itself out.
One of the advantages of getting a 2nd iMac has been the opportunity to erase and reinstall Snow Leopard to one of the partitions. A few 'odd' things had been happening, and now the 'Old Snow iMac' has been rejuvenated, and slimmed back to around 20 GB.
The problems have gone, though I keep finding small things were forgotten by my quick decision to do the erase..

Before the deluge..
I have been busy cleaning up Leopard prior to receiving Snow in the next day or so.. I have 25GB free space, and expect Snow will gain me another 8GB or so :)

Almost forgot
I finally got the Time Capsule back via Eplehuset after several months at Apple repair.. I really suspect someone either at the latter or the former, or both.., screwed up and it fell off the belt.
Anyway, I checked it out a few days after retrieving it from Sandvika, and it does work. Only thing is I have lost the need for it, having invested in an additional AirTunes Airport Express to be able to connect my Squeezebox via proxysta to the ethernet output, which enables it to work OK. So downstairs I am able to play the DAB radio, Airtunes or Squeezebox, and control iTunes via GMote from the HTC Magic.
Quite a setup..
