Thank you and now if I can figure out how to back up files. LOL
Step 1: Buy an external hard drive big enough to hold your data
Step 2: Plug it in
Step 3: Click "Use as Backup Disk" when OS X asks if you want to
That's it.
This fall you can use iCloud, it stores your pictures, music, and all your critical documents and system files and any applications you want to back up and stores it offsite on Apple's server farm in North Carolina.
