| Same here. Those backups before TimeMachine. MacBook (white). I installed a harddrive, put all my files on it and worked off it for a couple of weeks without backing up. Suddenly the drive went dead. I've got 7 years of E-Mail correspondence, minus two months. I somehow was proud of having that archive. Now I'm thinking: It's not complete. Should I get rid of it and live on gmail.com starting now? Well: I'm currently backed up and have three Macs. I sure hope they won't die _all_ on me in the same timeframe. (I actually hope none dies, of course.)
