With everyone getting gmail accounts I found a program that lets you use your gmail account as an online storage place. Its pretty cool in windows (I know everyone hates windows) it shows up as a drive in your windows explorer. I have been using it and its real handy for backing up stuff I don't want to loose. I found the article at www.kevinrose.com but here is the actual website http://www.viksoe.dk/code/gmail.htm . I havent had a chance to see if it would work with linux yet but so far the only downside is that you can only upload 10mb at a time. I just thought i would pass it allong Tim Sullivan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
