Mac Idea

Actually this ID could be for any PC, but it would be really neat if it appeared on the Mac first.

I wish Apple would build a computer that has an 8/16/32 GB SSD reserved for the O/S and applications. Then the regular hard drive could be reserved for data. The cool thing about this is that it would be very easy to pop out the hard drive and setup another without having to reconfigure the O/S and applications.

Even cooler would be to have a copy of the O/S and applications kept hidden from everyday operations that could be used to restore from if the O/S or applications were ever corrupted. For that matter, the backup could just contain installers rather having installed applications.

What do you think? Should we lobby Apple to move in this direction?? If you agree with my idea, spread the word and ask Apple to do it. Maybe if enough of us do it, it will happen.

Another idea is that all the data could be kept in the cloud, then it would always be available and backed up. If your suspcious that the cloud may not be accessible, then the cloud could just be a copy. Your data hard drive would just need to synchronize whenever the cloud was available.
