What's it all about, Alfie?

This morning I wanted to hook my new MacBook Pro up to the existing TimeMachine backup stream that I've had going for quite a while. The problem is that in the past, it's been a someone manual operation, and with the loss of the ACL control app in Snow Leopard, nearly impossible. But I was being silly, wasn't I?

Turns out, that in Snow Leopard, if you just hook up an existing TimeMachine drive to a new machine, it'll ask you if you want to continue with this backup set on the new machine! This is exactly why I love Apple. They think of these things, and plan for them. In the past, it was manual, but now it's automatic.

Gotta love these guys!
