@pixelenvy bought a clear plastic screen protector for Charlie's iPhone when cracked. Stops the crack spreading.

@zachinglis also,it's just one part of a diverse backup strategy. No equipment is so good that you can afford to put all eggs in one basket.

@zachinglis I have one, mine isn't unreliable. You've now got 1 for & 1 against & his is 1st gen, mine 2nd. I don't know others experiences.

@zachinglis also, my drobo (2nd gen) never crashes & @Caius uses drobo share (=samba=slow) whereas I use FW800 (=++Fast)

@zachinglis that would avoid the problems that @Caius had as a whole disk pack failure wouldn't nuke your whole drobo.

@zachinglis you can always buy a drobo with 4 disks to start with & have as 2 disk-packs that you swap & move offsite occasionally.

@zachinglis to a single external firewire disk. Then I have a few points that can fail without data.

@zachinglis I backup photos + docs to Crashplan - online & to my dads PC. All movies music etc. onto drobo and then run a clone from drobo..

@zachinglis have a diverse backup solution. Drobo is good but shouldn't be your last bet.

@zachinglis I have one, not had any issues yet. Turns out last problem was actually with my mac :S

@xbaz I did a theory test. Didn't realise it was a red circle, just if it said "variable speed limit" on signs nearby :)

@Caius except for the M25 and somewhere around Birmingham where it's a variable maximum & enforceable.

@guydickinson I bought a couple of these for my Nephew. Will be buying them for Rose when she's old enough. They're great books.

@pjhyett we're trying to get rid of it. It's just not worth it. Possibly the most complicated part of our billing system.

Should've pointed my webcam out the window so I could see the snow back home.
