So the aforementioned chunk of technological security arrived in the mail. And I formatted it, and partitioned it, and started running Time Machine on the specified partition.
I've been waiting on it for just shy of four hours when I look and notice I'm only one gig into my fifty-gig computer. Ouch.
So I watch, and it's loading a tenth a meg a second. Ohhhh, ouch.
I restart the whole system and it loads that same gig in the first minute.
...Ew.
In other news, saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall. What an exercise in vicarious embarrassment (something I excel at, in fact) and general awkwardness. The first ten minutes do characterise the film. If you can't bear it, don't watch the rest. All in all, I thought it was not without flaw but certainly worth seeing through, though preferably not while seated next to one's parents.
...To return to backup woes, apparently it zipped along for the first gig and is now crawling again at a snail's pace. One hundredth of a gig in ninety seconds?? WTF!?
If anybody has any suggestions, please feel free to leave word....
