For the rare on-the-go moments, I just unplug the MagSafe and the Thunderbolt cable (and an audio plug; the only thing that Gemini is missing) and go.
* I have a lot of backup for many reasons (work, primarily). My naming scheme:
- Moe is the Time Machine Drive in the miniStack STX
- Larry is the CCC Clone inside the miniStack STX
- Curly is the OWC Envoy Express connected via TB4
- Shemp is the planned OWC Envoy Express which will swap out with Curly from time to time so I always have an off-site clone
It's overkill for most but works well for me.
- Our "Moe" is paired w/ "Manny" and "Jack", aka The Pep Boys....
- In ancient times, "Huey", "Dewey", and "Louie" served for many of those early years.
- It's fun coming up w/ amusing storage drive names to keep computing interesting. I've used a lot more Disney along the way, and then there was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' period. And we can't forget the scientists, "Sagan", "Hawking", "deGrasse-Tyson" ('deG-T'), "Einstein", "Bill Nye", "The (d')Science Guy" ('daS-G'), etc.. The big space-tech/airline manufacturers, "Boeing", "Airbus", "Lockheed", "Rocketdyne", et al.. have also been used.
For the most part, I'm not a fan of parting w/ the storage drives, so most of the oldies, and their nifty names are still around (boxed up in drawers/cabinets), save a few that were nuked & repaved to be sold (read that, mostly donated) with various Mac systems as they aged out here.
Thanks for the blast from the past.
