Mozy is the program. Perhaps I should download, install then uninstall…

Nothing shows up in Activity Monitor.

Hambo, if you still have this issue, try deleting: “/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mozy.backup.plist”.

I could be wrong but aren’t the .plist files just for storing preferences for applications (property list files)?

I don’t think they actually run anything at all rather just tell an application what its settings for a certain user are?

Could be wrong though.

Best wishes,

Mark

Mark, the keyword here is “LaunchDaemons”

I need to open my eyes much more!

Sorry I don’t have a link Mark - it was an old article that I remember MacWorld’s print magazine quoting, so I never saw an online version.

Ah never mind. Thanks for the info though. Will see if I have the old version of MacWorld hanging around somewhere.

Cheers,

Mark

Vista is a lost cause and always was. (notice the period LOL)
You can request XP on laptop no matter the brand.

One major keystroke difference is $.

You better ask what are you going to use this laptop for?
College as in - word and powerpoint presentations, viewing 2-3 docs in excel? Or as in graphics desing college running Autocad or some beast? Or as in you need to look cool at the coffe shop?
What is your lovel of support need should something go wrong?

Bottom line buy what you need, chances are this laptop will get obused and will be worthless in a 2 yrs anyhow. Not to mention whole college (on campus) life that can take toll on your possesions…

A few things I have repeatedly heard from die hard mac users:
- I love my mac
- They run forever and barely crash
- I don’t care you are my dad,I am not giving you a copy I paied $xxxx.xx for this software

You also want to check that your classes or computer labs can accomodate your OS needs.
Mac makes nice products…and if you make nice income you should live happily ever after.
All the best!
