RECYCLE THAT MAC
Apple will gladly recycle any iPod or cell phone you drag into the store but it isn't so easy with a
Mac. If you buy a new Mac from either the Apple Online Store or an Apple retail store you can get
Apple to recycle your old computer (one machine, one monitor, brand unimportant) by jumping through
the additional hoops of either selecting the "Apple Recycling Program" option while checking out
online, or asking one of the Apple employees about the program when making your purchase at a retail
outlet. Apple will send you an email with instructions on how to proceed but be aware that you're
going to have to pack the thing up and haul it to the nearest FedEx location. Too much work? Your
local Apple store will be able to tell you where to recycle your computer locally.

paragraph 7 |
Paragraph is unclear for some:
The tempting thing to think is that you can simply copy the System folder with rsync and be done with the problem. That isn't the case;, necessary folders like /uusr and /bbin don't actually reside in the System folder as you might expect. Instead, the required folders reside at the root level of your directory. Yyou just can't see them because they are invisible. Hence a more encompassing approach is needed. The solution is to tell rsync to copy the entire disk except the folders that aren't needed. Since all you are doing is copying files you won't have to worry about accidentally throwing crucial bits away, the process is non destructive.
The last sentence:
nce all you are doing is copying files you won't have to worry about accidentally throwing crucial bits away, the process is non destructive.
is added because some users were worried about copying files directly from the system folder

fourth paragraph |
Between Surya Buchwald and Bakari Chavanu added entry for
David Chartier, as a recent college graduate specializing in multimedia in Denver, Colorado, Dave has
his hands in the design, Web, and Apple industries. After his first IBM PC in high-school got him
hooked, Dave hit the ground running—tinkering with just about everything you can do with and to a
computer. After getting into design school and catching the Apple bug in 2001, Dave's obsessions
focused on what's coming next in the worlds of graphic, video, and web design. On the rare occasion
Dave is without his MacBook Pro, you'll probably find him either on his snowboard in Breckenridge or
a local bike trail.
