Time Machine Tip
Here's another thing I'm posting mostly for my own future use :)
Apparently, Time Machine can be persnickety about what kind of drive it backs up to - unless you use this advice:
Run this from terminal and load up time machine to select your drive! You don't need to hook the drive up to the Mac first, you dont have to go chowning files and all that nonsense.
