Another cautionary tale of hard disk drive failures and the importance of backups – disk is cheap! And of course six brilliant tracks to please your ears. Sorry if the levels are still a bit out of whack. The new Mac is proving a different audio beast. Music Played She Swings, She Sways – What I Wouldn’t Do Spy For Hire – First Weeks On The Island The Milkmen – Make You Happy Garfield Mayor – Invisible Isaboe – Calling To You Xavier & Ophelia – Six Billion Lonely People Theme: Amphibians – Hangin’ On. Topics Discussed New Zealand’s “March madness” give way rule change. Backing up with CrashPlan. Excellent value on 2TB hard drives in NZ. About The Podcast The Sitting Duck Podcast (SDP) is a mix of great music and some commentary on topical news, views and technology, recorded in Wellington, New Zealand.   I play only music I like, mostly from the collections of Mevio’s Music Alley and Ariel’s Cyber PR , but also through some personal contacts. Sometimes this can mean ‘mainstream’ music, but generally speaking you won’t find these artists on the radio and even less likely on the shelf at your local music outlet. My favourite music is Pop, Rock and Acoustic, but I’ve also been known to play Alternative, Blues, Comedy, Country, Dance, Electronic, Folk, Funk, Groove, Holiday, Jazz, Lounge, New Wave, Reggae, R&B, Soul, Surf and World!
