 You get the best price if you purchase your MacOS devices through [[http://surfspot.nl/|Surfspot]] (10% discount). Log in with your ULCN account and proceed to the "partnershops". If you are purchasing the device via a University of Leiden budget (SAP number), however, contact <bestellingen@lorentz.leidenuniv.nl>.
-===== Disks =====
+===== Common IL Network Disks =====
-Because MacOS devices are managed by their users and not by the Lorentz Institute IT department, they have limited access to the IL network infrastructure, for instance many common network disks will not be visible on your Mac.
+Because MacOS devices are not managed  by the Lorentz Institute IT department, their access to the IL network infrastructure is restricted.
-\\
+This implies that all IL network disks will be unaccessible from your Mac unless the connection is secured via a tunnel to our ssh server at ''ssh.lorentz.leidenuniv.nl''.
-You can still mount directories on our Linux file server over SSH, using [[http://www.macfusionapp.org/|MacFusion]] after logging into ssh.lorentz.leidenuniv.nl . By storing valuable files on the Linux file server, you make sure that they are backed up and you can access them from outside. (Alternativey, you can rely on [[http://www.dropbox.com/|Dropbox]].) For added protection, I recommend attaching an external disk to your Mac and using [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Machine_%28Apple_software%29|Time Machine]] to back up the files on your Mac. To back up to CD or DVD, for long-term archiving, I recommend [[http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/|Burn]].
