I use it occasionally to give people temporary access to large files.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

ita, I love dropbox!!!!!
and, I love the fact that it keeps files you've deleted. because every so often I accidentally delete or overwrite a file I didn't mean to and dropbox has my back.

Dropbox sounds quite useful. I'll have to check that out.
Why do I browse NewEgg sometimes just for the heck of it? I always find something I want to buy. At least I've never actually bought anything I've looked at while just browsing.
$170 bucks for a computer?
I mean, sure the keyboard is probably cramped and it only has 4GB of storage. But if it is good enough to run a web browser, Abiword, gnumeric, and play MP3s then it would do everything I would want out of such a device.
Still, not motivated enough to actually buy it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ha, I can't believe I just this morning realized that instead of restarting my computer after an Explorer crash, I can just log out and log back in to restart Windows. It's much faster. Does that work for programs/Windows Updates that need to "restart my computer" to complete installation too? What's the advantage of doing an actual restart?

I believe the answer to that is maybe. Updates that require a restart will generally stick run once entries into the registry. Some of those entries are things that run on login (USER keys), and some are things that run on restart (SYSTEM keys). Or just no, since you don't know where the update sticks shit.
