[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1709977, member: 234411"] Concerning [I]FileVault[/I], I'm w/ [B]Nick & McBie[/B] - virtually all of my Apple computers stay at home; I'm retired, so not of a lot of important data on these machines - all computers have logins and all have password apps - our house has a good alarm system, so I feel absolutely no need to use FileVault, just another layer of complexity w/ a potential disaster happening if the password is forgotten. Now, I occasionally take a MBAir on the road and have virtually no important data on the machine, and again login is needed. Thus, I feel that the recommendation to use [I]FileVault[/I] should be tempered from a 'must' to an optional necessity based on ones need to protect important files and information. Dave :) [/QUOTE]
