Here in Durham, New Hampshire. I'm Dave Hamilton

Here in Durham, New Hampshire, I'm Dave Hamilton. Here in Fearful, Connecticut, John F. Brown.

Indeed.

So, you know, John, I woke up this morning and I realized it's a it's a very special day, but I went to Google and they didn't

recognize that it was this special day at all and I was totally irate.

Did you know that John?

Of course the special the special day I'm referring to is

obviously that it's world backup day.

I didn't know that.

It is.

Yeah, so one of the things we'll talk about today during the show we

I mean our listen, you and I talking

about our backup strategies is certainly not an event that we reserve to talk about only annually.

We talk about it frequently, but I believe at some point during

today's show we should go through our our backup strategies and and all of that so

so being that it is World Backup Day it's just good to build awareness because I certainly believe in this.

And I gotta say Dave, short of you maybe after you buy a new Mac Mac wondering what this thing called Time Machine is that has to or I don't you know I don't even think it it encourages you to use it when you first get the machine it's just kind of there because I just got a I think I told you I got a new 21 and a half inch I Mac at work and while

setting the machine up I don't believe at any point it said oh yeah by the way you want to set up time

machine. It was positive it did not prompt me to do that.

No, it probably me to do some other things, but it didn't explicitly say, oh by the way is this thing
