Thanks guys ! Dave, I will give you a call this evening.
Hugh R. ...I had been thinking about Carbonite for a while. The Geek Squad says they are good. Unfortunately.....I thought about it a bit too long !
I will try Carbonite for sure on all my machines.
Mysticlama...It seemed to be making a slight humming or high pitched noise. Hard to describe...but not a noticeable "clicking"
