Annoying OS X Time Machine Bug

I too have now run into the infamous Time Machine bug. Little did I know. I upgraded my 3 Macs to Leopard back around December 1. On my primary Mac Mini desktiop, I pointed Time Machine at my external 250Gb drive, which also had some large video files on it, but which was mostly otherwise empty.

Flame on lame software companies

I just tried playing one of my favorite Shockwave games on my Intel Mac Mini. It works perfectly on my wife's PPC iMac and on my PPC iBook, of course. But the Shockwave plug-in doesn't work. Why? Well, because as Adobe says in a TechNote, they haven't "yet been ported to run natively on the new Intel-based Macintosh computers and currently only runs in Rosetta emulation mode." The date of this TechNote is May 12, 2006.
