Re: [FRIAM] dropbox?

Hey Nick, We use Dropbox a ton; here's why. I've never been a big fan of cloud storage-It's OK, but I've always had access to servers and such, so there didn't seem to be much of a point for someone in my situation. Dropbox, however, is a game changer. First, clients for everything. In my

It's pretty brilliant stuff. Don't think of it as a phone service, a la Skype. Think of it as a manager for all your telephoney. For example, you no longer have to worry about phone number portability; give out your Google voice number, and route it wherever you wish. Change carriers? Change

Hi Steve, Good points, all. But I'm afraid it's a pick your poison situation-each set up has trade-offs, and one is not necessarily better than the other. For a real world example, please take a look at Israel. The Knesset has 120 seats; proportional representation means that there are a
