How Do I Set Up A User Account?
First, I am a COMPLETE IDIOT when it comes to computer stuff! I'm sorry if this topic is in the wrong forum, I'm just lost at this point, and frustrated beyond belief. My wife got me a ReadyNAS 426, ...
Jase1000 since you are a self confessed complete idiot you need to be aware that a NAS is not a backup, your son (and others) could easily lose all their data.

Thank You Bedlam, duely noted! Last year we were set-up with an online back up company called Carbonite, and so far we haven't had any problems with them; however, to your point, I was going to cancel it now that we have the NAS, but based on your advice, will continue the subscription! I appreciate your input!
