      yeah they're all pretty good at that level (carbonite's another one). Awesome they're physically local to you! Have you popped in to test it out / check out their office? :).

      I've read about a few more data integrity issues with crashplan than with backblaze over the years, which is why I've kept with backblaze…..

        That may be with their peer to peer platform. I use a standard replication. Haven't visited but I found out last weekend I know their CFO

          We use Mac Mail at IHUKHQ.

          We use IMAP. We have certain email addresses that go to all of us (sales, shop etc etc).  And we have an understanding about who answers what, but we would like to get a bit more sophisticated.

          So for example, without CCing the other members, is there some way we can let them know that a particular email has been handled.  Or if it cant be answered by (say) me, I can flag it for action by someone else.

          Any ideas?

            It's one of those things that there is no system that works for everyone in e-mail. To do it proper you need to move from e-mails to ticketing systems and let e-mails forward to the system and use it to reply from etc.

            In e-mail itself, the 2 methods I've seen work;
            a)1 each person gets a colour, when a message is picked up or allocated to/by that person, the colour is updated
            b)Create folders for each person, drag any items to work on into the folder and leave as unread in there. Any mail not in a folder is yet to be picked up by anyone.

                  The Collaboration App getting all the buzz at the moment is Slack,

                  https://slack.com/

                  Don't think it's exactly what you're after.

                  If you want to move beyond e-mail there's a whole ton of solutions out there. Asana, ZenDesk, Flow, all come to mind and can often integrate with each other. Essentially you'd be turning e-mail into a ticket/task/item, and then working on/through that.

                  The slack video is a nice 3 minute video if nothing else 🙂

                      Replace, the SSD has made my 2010 MBP feel like new. I seriously cannot recommend this upgrade enough, my MBP was basically a paperweight and now it runs like a dream, and the fan has not kicked in once since I upgraded either.

                      Yeah, I saw this happen! My early 2009 Mac Pro is letterally  reborn with a new 250GB samsung SSD. ah, don't forget to catch trimenabler, it makes believe your mac that the new ssd is  Apple and activates trim functions!

                          So I bought the iPhone 6, the small one. I left the iPhone + because it is too big compared to me.
                          6=ok, I keep it in my front pocket, on the left.
                          I don't like android devices for one reason only: the audio apps (synthesizers, music studios etc …). Too few and too much latency! Apple devices are pro level audio units.

                          iPhone 6 has left me puzzled. Its look is not much of a surprise: it is nothing more than a giant iPod Touch. And the camera lens sticking out is a drop in style.

                          I do not believe that the supremacy of Apple is going to last much longer. Speaking of design, I fell in love with the Huawei Ascend P7. I find it wonderful!
                          When I saw it I thought: this is the future!

                            Delete everything I've written above. I made ​​a mistake. iPhone 6 is the best phone on the market. Apple is the present for sure, and maybe the future as well. Huawey is cute, but has a long way to go.

                              I jumped ship for 36 hours, tried so hard to love the Sony z3c but the 6 just won in every single way for me. Glad I have android a chance but never again.

                                One of the guys I work with was recently given a brand new Windows Nokia top of the line phone. He lasted 2 weeks. Said it was the best advertising for iPhone he's ever experienced. Went out about bought a phone retail as apposed to having to use company provided windows phone.

                                  So funny how individual our experiences are. Apple has been a complete train wreck for me and many of my friends since 7.0, and I've had a pretty good experience (with some compromises, but everything generally works) on a top of the line Windows phone.

                                  Think it, be it.

                                    Tomorrow's the day of the next event. Hoping for some good news on hardware and software.

                                    Interestingly enough I converted another guy to Mac this week. Unintentionally. When I started @ my workplace I was literally the first mac in the entire company. Just over 18 months in and there's at least 5-10% of the company rocking macs, seemingly gaining at least 1-2 users a month who are buying and using their own hardware. I love it.

                                            Apple should at least take you out to dinner and a movie before selling you a mini. 4GB or RAM, now soldered on. $100 extra to get a usable amount of RAM (8GB). They went digging around an antique store and found some 5400 RPM spinning disks. You have to pay $250 to upgrade that nonsense to a Fusion Drive. So now you're at $850 for an entry-level desktop running a processor from 2009. That's simply not acceptable.
