My apple has an option to set sleep mode to never under System Preferences


Once I set time machine to a second drive, I do not see the backup pop up any more.


As far as running software on Mac, there were more that ran on Mac than I expected. I have MS Office, word and excel on mine now.


Bob knowing what you do since its everybody else's hobby here is that to, I imagine you are wanting to put Adobe on the machine. I probably wouldn't go apple if I had to buy a whole new copy of CS5 to put on it. I wouldn't buy an apple and run windows VM on my mac just so I could still use CS5 for windows either, that would seem like odd logic. That would be my biggest concern.

Well, I still want it to sleep, but only when I tell it to, not every time I close the screen. It's great for having it do stuff while the screen is closed (shutting off the screen and protecting the computer).

Time Machine is far too limited for my backup needs, so I don't use it and the popups annoyed me until I disabled them on the commandline. That doesn't take away from the great things I said about Time Machine in the last post, though.

I guess I should ask Adobe, but, does anyone know if you are a registered owner of an Adobe product and purchased it for windows, would they allow you to re-download for Mac or purchase a a Mac compatable disk for $10 or $15 ?
