The original buyer cut it pretty close. Production of the Corvette started in July 1953, and the Korean armistice was signed July 27, 1953.

> This morning I attempted to install, but when I ran the installer I was told that I can't use the MacPro HD. When I tried clicking on it anyway (it was grayed out) the message was that this drive was being used for Time Machine backups.
If you open System Preferences -- Time Machine, then click on the lock and enter your password, you can then click on the "Options..." in the lower right corner.
Near the bottom, you have a choice of "Back up while on battery power"
If this is CHECKED, Time Machine will continue to make TM "snapshots" even when the Time Machine external storage drive is disconnected, and you are running on battery. These snapshots are then stored ON THE INTERNAL DRIVE. And they will continue to be created until the drive is full.
If you wish to stop this behavior, UNcheck the box on the Options... sheet.

Thanks for this helpful tip. I've now changed my preferences to stop backups while on battery power. Do you know where these old backups might be stored on my internal drive so I can delete them?

I found the answer on our old friend Google. I first followed Jim's suggestion, then turned off Time Machine & restarted my laptop. That deleted the snapshots from my internal drive. I then turned Time Machine back on.

Somewhere (I used to know where, but...) is a folder called "MobileBackups" (or possibly ".MobileBackups". It is an invisible folder under normal circumstances. If you know how, it can be deleted.
However, I find on Apple Support Forums:
> In most cases, do not worry about them. They're "thinned" automatically, down to one per day for a week, then deleted. And they'll be deleted as necessary if your HD gets over 80% full.

I wasn't trying to update on plane. I noticed issue and saw it was stuck on plane. I did reset but Apple Genius could not figure out anything else other than restoring to factory default and resyncing.

I had a singular experience while watching a YouTube video today. The video wasn't anything special (Jet Li in "The One") but the caching was.
I was watching the video using Firefox on a Windows 7 laptop. I had to stop after about 20 minutes so I put it to sleep and took the laptop with me. Later I opened the laptop and attempted to connect to a local wireless network but because there was some issue doing so I had to give up. For whatever reason I started the browser and the video resumed where it left off, AND it continued to the end -- for another hour and a quarter -- without internet connection.
Which means that Firefox under Windows cached the entire video in about 20 minutes.
My Macs have never been able to do this. If I have any trouble with my internet connection the YouTube video halts immediately.
Am I the only one who finds this experience (caching an entire video so quickly) unusual?

Yesterday after a random restart I saw a window saying the date/clock was
set to before 2000. There were instructions how to reset. But all the tabs
were grayed out so I couldn't reset.
I realized that my Airport icon was also grayed out and had to re-enter my
pw to join the network. Only then I was able to reset date/time and after
reading on-line went ahead and reset the SMC.
I am curious b/c 2 weeks ago I had to have my HD replaced as it was failing
and wanted to make sure something else (??? MOtherboard) is not on the way
out?
