Paul kindly offered to sign up also — we can always backup to each others’ machines with the CrashPlan GUI without charge — and … Read more
As promised, Part II of my devious plan to conquer the world. I mean, my paperwork! I need to look into storage options for my photos, videos and these soon-to-be-scanned-in papers. If you thought my paperwork filing plan was sloppy, our computer’s file plan is an incredible mess. I try to keep up with it, … Read more
