[QUOTE="floridaguy, post: 941588, member: 131223"] O.K. so here's a question for someone with experience on Macs. When I am going to install a new program of any consequence on a PC I always make a disk image just before doing so. Then if something goes wrong I don't have to worry about cleaning out the registry or anything else. I just revert to where I started and try again with the experience of battle scars to help me do better. The image is absolute in every way. Makes me feel confident. When you Time Machine back, how absolute is it. Would that be a situation where you'd use Disk Utility? Or is the a PC phenomenom that the "just works" world of the Mac doesn't have to concern itself with? [/QUOTE]
