I have been reviewing various ways to store the information that is on my computer. I’ve considered buying a external device, but haven’t wanted to spend the money. I’ve looked at a few online services, and am still considering this option.
Online Backup is worth it if the amount I would have to pay (if anything) is reasonable and most important to me, the site storing the information must be secure. See the little “iDrive Basic - 2 GB Free” image in this post? That is what drew me to take a look at iDrive.com. 2 GB isn’t enough to store everything that I have on my laptop by any means, but it’s enough to test the system. Then, after testing and learning how things work, if I’m happy with it, I’ll pay the monthly fee, it’s really quite reasonable. It would take me a couple years to spend the amount it would cost me to buy the external unit I was considering. I use a laptop, and don’t have an iPhone, Blackberry or MAC, but understand that you can store information from them as well.
SO, I’m definitely giving this a try when I finish typing this. Everything is explained so clearly at the site I’m most interested in with images showing you step by step how the service works online, quite impressive.
So don’t loose all that typing and the graphics you’ve done for that book or manuscript, or any other information on your computer, back it up.
There are so many helpful resources online that it’s easy to find myself reading my laptop rather than a book…I know I’ve shared that with you before. There is so much valuable information to be found, and these days Real Estate appears to be an important topic, because many cannot afford to buy in the present economy, so the government has provided help…I learned about this in more detail by reading a “Learning” section of a Real Estate website.
To make a short story long :-), my daughter and son-in-law recently purchased a home…just in time for the November cut-off date to get the 8,000 tax credit for first-time buyers. It was around that time, after she closed on her home, that they decided to extend the credit, and also provide a $6,500 tax credit for people who are selling a home they have lived in and moving to a new home…people like my neighbors who have been trying to sell for some time.
I wanted to share this exciting news with them, but wasn’t sure if they would meet the qualifications, until I read through resources that can be found online at this $6,500 Tax Credit link. I discovered a tab called “Learn”, and that’s just what I did and found a wealth of information about real estate in general. I did a bit of reading, and found that in their case, they may not qualify for the $6,500 credit because they haven’t lived in their present home long enough. Take advantage of tools like this to increase your knowledge.
A talented business woman that I also consider to be a friend through our contact via the internet has just published a wonderful new book, a 2010 edition of “Quirky Marketing - 365 Way to Promote Your Business Using Zany and Non-Traditional Holidays”.
I just purchased a copy and am so impressed! For each an every month there is an introduction with inspiring thoughts about the month, then a paragraph about each of the significant things that happened in history or that are significant each day of the month…and not all of them are things I’ve heard of (some of those are definitely “quirky” :-). Finally there is a easy-to-read list of the things that make each day of the month special, and resources that you can print to use to plan how you are going to approach that particular month. The book explains it all a lot better than I have!
I wish I had purchased this by January 1st, but I can get started right now…and it will still be relevant in the new year.
Here is what she just shared in an email:
