Carbonite

I hate having to worry about my data. I resisted doing backups regularly for years. It turns out I was lucky all that time. After years of having no real problems I finally experienced my first total hard drive crash. I lost everything on it. Fortunately, I had done a backup on my crucial files only a few days earlier, so it was not the major disaster it could have been had I no current backup.

Since that day, I have experienced two other losses of data. One of them was my fault. I dropped a portable hard drive that had nearly 20 gigs of photos and music. Again, fortunately for me, most of the files were present on hard drives on other computers.

But when my Dell desktop crashed earlier this year, that was a major blow. I lost a lot of documents and images that are irreplaceable. And the worst part is that I thought I had it backed up but, unknown to me, my backup software wasn't working properly.

When I first learned of Carbonite, my first impression was that it was just too good to be true. (Usually if something sounds too good to be true, it is.) But now I'm a customer, and I love it! There is a small icon in the system tray of my laptop. When it is green, that means everything is backed up to date. When it is yellow, it knows it is time to back up my files. and it does it all in the background. It has never affected my computer's performance in a way that I notice. And the best part is that I don't have to remember to do anything! Check it out for free. You'll never want to be without it again.

Easy Web Video

Working with videos on the web has been a long-time frustration for me. That is, until I found Easy Web Video. Now, what use to take me hours, I can do in minutes!

I simply cannot express how much easier and fun it is to get a video up on a website now. Thanks to advances in web video technology you can now put any video on any website in just a few minutes. All you need is the V2F software (which stands for "Video To Flash").

V2F transforms huge video files (.avi, .mpg, .wmv, etc.) into small, Internet-ready "flash" videos so quickly and so easily that ANYONE can do it in just minutes.

Now, instead of trying for hours to get a video file up and working correctly on a website, and finally giving up in frustration, I use V2F and have it online with stop, go, fast forward, and reverse, in minutes. I love V2F and I know you will too.
