And it instantly updates stuff to every computer you put the software on.<br />I met a composer who was working with musicians and writers all over Europe. They had a shared Dropbox file, so whereever they were, they all had access to the latest version of their shared work.Susan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738737493756183909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-15524878807951362272012-01-27T16:07:40.548+00:002012-01-27T16:07:40.548+00:00My trusty notebook never behaves so temperamentall...My trusty notebook never behaves so temperamentally :)Dan Hollowayhttp://danholloway.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-61308866429467556522012-01-27T15:59:49.281+00:002012-01-27T15:59:49.281+00:00Yes, my video game designer son uses dropbox - I&#...Yes, my video game designer son uses dropbox - I'm going to have to try it!

We then spent many happy days in bed together - no, this is not an 18+ posting -- and we were given an iPad AND a kindle. What happy relationships ensued! The only bone (how I hate that word) of contention being the vastly superior battery life of the kindle -julia joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09773900100240758504noreply@blogger.com
