Wow! I wonder when Google will realise that remote file-hosting is the true potential of their server-farm. GMail - all nice and fair, but how "revolutionary" can you get about emails apart from sending them (and that's establishment)?
It's the speed of their servers that is their most valuable asset.

wasn't there several of those around in the late 90's early 00's like driveway.com, virtualdrive.com and the like where you could drag and drop your files around like that.
So nothing new except that it's google doing it, and more space,

Yeah in the mod forum, feyd. ;)

Anyway, this is a cool little tool that I'm going to install right now.

I'll let you guys know how it goes in a couple days.

reminds me greatly of Apple's iDisk, but a nice alternative to all of those people who haven't converted to Mac yet.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

It was very hard work to convince my sister that she shouldn't buy an apple (she's a Windows user). Her main attraction was that you could get "pink" ones...<sigh> What can I say? I still love her, but it's hard sometimes.

(note: I like Apple, they are very, very innovative, look great and if I have too much money I'll buy one. But not pink. Definitely not pink. No way. Pink. No.)

Our graphic designers have absolutely gorgeous Apples which I covet, but I would need a PC too (and I can't really afford an Apple so I'm just jealous really)...

Give her the spray paint color of her choice and tell her to have at it. You might want to tell her, you can do whatever design you want to your PC. And for the sake of us sane folks, maybe you could do any modifications for her so she doesn't buy a Mac.

Keep it sane!

You know they aren't that insanely expensive. But a $1,299 USD isn't exactly simple pocket change. ;)
