Nifty. Reminds there are 5-6 Mac magazines one can follow. Each issue has a trickle which accumulates to expands one's body of Mac & OS X knowledge.

I remember back in the "OSX is coming" days that the mags were actually very good.

Each of these things—magazine, books, meetings, etc—has a certain percentage of good stuff and a certain percentage of "gold". Question becomes, does the time it take to find those nuggets worth the time spent? ...assuming you catch it (e.g., not nod off in a meeting).

Can also be done via Terminal, http://www.macworld.com/article/2033804/control-time-machine-from-the-command-line.html

I miss the magazine era. Especially the late 1980s. Byte, Compute, Commodore Magazine. That was good stuff.
