MacBook Pro Withdrawal

After installing the new battery i needed to send my machine back to Apple for some more maintenance. To be honest, we ordered four of these the day they were announced and fully expected some Hardware 1.0 problems. Mine was the third needing a California vacation. Apple’s not perfect. That’s OK.


What was perfect was how long it took me to migrate back to a PowerBook and continue working: 20 minutes. Fifteen minutes to back-up the MacBook Pro (rsyncX script) and five minutes to create an account and copy my home directory to the PowerBook.


In twenty minutes i logged into the PowerBook had all my data, preferences, license keys, etc. … down to my desktop images and everything just worked. Thank You Apple.
