By saving documents and spreadsheets there, I can access them anywhere.

I have also been known to email a file to myself on gmail. Again, can access it from anywhere and the generous mail limits means I rarely delete stuff.

I also now have mobile me & I'm getting used to it. I don't get out of the house as much as I used to, so I'm not sure how cost-effective it is for me. Especially since it only syncs Safari bookmarks, and not Firefox. (That I know of.)

I heard from Sid Prince this week on a Google app – anyone tried that?

I have not looked at Windows Live Workspace yet, but I will.

Here are a couple of other free options you might want to review:

Dropbox (https://www.getdropbox.com)allows you to have folders that synch between computers that you have access to as well as through the web.

G.ho.st (http://g.ho.st/) is a virtual desktop that you access from any computer.

An actual Office person! How cool is this? Guys, I swear to God I had no idea anyone from MS would be anywhere around this little blog. The power of Google search perhaps?

While I have you here Kate, is there something to be done about making Publisher, Word, and Excel commands the same across all programs? It's been my biggest gripe. I open Publisher and I go to the menu bar to do what I have done endlessly in Word, but the commands aren't there. It's frustrating. And that delay when my Outlook mail downloads and everything else freezes.

I bet she's not coming back. 🙁
