Mac Security Question

Not fun "grabass" but I need a quick answer and don't know where else to ask....

I'm sending my PowerBook back to Mac and it will probably end up with a new hard drive. I've backed up, etc., etc.

But I just remembered what I almost forgot --

I do shop online. I don't recall whether my credit card numbers or anything like that are stored on the Mac. Where do I look to see, so I can remove them?

It's important to know however,...

It's important to know however, that a few people have had problems with Filevault and spotlight, if I remember correctly. I'd most likley enable File vault and frequently back up your critical files to a non-encrypted safe place (or a separate encryption standard), so that if filevault gets corrupted and goes down, you'll have a way to get back up with the critical files you need for work.

BTW, Backups are smart anyways. ;) The pot calls the kettle black here... that reminds me, I need to check out rsync a lot harder again... I almost got it working lasttime....

Cheers!!

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
