You now have your own personal server in the cloud.

 Dropbox.com is a “space” on the internet where you can save files, get files, share files, photos, videos anything you want.

 And the first 2 GB – are FREE!  And you can recieve 500 MB additional per referral.

Your files will sync automatically to all your computers, mobile phones and tablets.  And get this: Your computer blows up or your mobile phone goes through the washing machine?  Your files are still safe.

Even if you’re not connected to the internet, you still have access to your files.  How cool is that?

It’s definitely worth checking out.

Happy computing!

 

Windows 8!

Maybe we should be titled this: Mousing is getting a makeover.

Microsoft has introduced Windows 8 into the testing phase. What this means to you is that “touch” is entering the mainstream PC marketplace.

If you have a smartphone, iPad or Android tablet, you already know what’s coming. There’s a convergence of phone, tablet and desktop “look and feel” going on. Apple, Microsoft, Android, the contest rages on.  Within the next 12-18 months, “touch” will be the standard.

Yes there are ergonomic challenges here but let’s let them fight it out.   If you’re still running your business on Windows XP you’re going to hear footsteps coming your way and there’s no stopping progress, maybe not today but soon you’ll have to get on board.  So think about the flicks, points and zooms you do with your smartphone and you’ll step easily into the latest Operating System from Microsoft.

Underneath the hood the engine of Windows 7 remains and that’s pretty solid.

Go boldly forth – and happy computing!

Okay, we don’t sell them – put the new iPad 3 looks pretty slick!

Get ready to camp outside an Apple Store or FirstTech in Uptown next Thursday night… so you can be first in line to pick up the new iPad 3 on Friday March 16!

Starting at $499 this beauty has a 5-megapixel camera, can record in HiDef and has a screen with higher resolution than a lot of high quality desktop monitors.

And for those of you who don’t need the latest and greatest, many outlets are already dropping their prices for the iPad 2 to clear space for the new kid on the block.

Happy computing!
