10.5: Reinstall Java on Leopard
Authored by: asmeurer on May 18, '09 01:08:44PM

If you ever buy a Mac from an Apple store, the salespeople will always suggest that you buy a hard drive from them. All the user has to do is plug the drive in to make Time Machine work. Making it bootable would be a nice feature for a future OS release (Snow Leopard?). I think that the Apple online store also has external hard drives listed as one of the 'accessories" that it suggests that you buy after you are done purchasing a new Mac. On the other hand, you have a point. Companies either have to admit that their product will likely fail or convince consumers that they will likely accidentally do something they didn't want to do, such as deleting a file, to convince them that they need to backup. But that really should only be difficult for someone who has never used computers before.
