I'm investigating. Love stories? Horror stories? Alternatives you like better?

The reader is awesome. Easily my favourite app. I use almost all them, daily.

I didn't really like the calendar function, but we use Google Docs A LOT to compare lists and the like without having to refer to different versions.

Yeah, Docs is great for the most part. My only issue was with track changes while editing a paper with another co-author. It was kind of messy.

Yeah, we do too. Also, things like the customizable survey you can send to people and then the results automatically populate a spreadsheet--brilliant!

Yeah. I use the personal shit, but I'm looking at opening up a business account and just using it to manage docs, domain email and possibly some of the add-ons. At $50/year, it's not a huge risk, and I like the products I use now. I'm also interested in some of the intranet-type features, esp. if this contract comes through.

I'm not that far in yet but I probably should be. Keep us posted.

Just tonight I set up Jungle Disk for cloud storage/backups, since I've been flying far too long on too little of a parachute. Down the road I'll probably get redundant with RAID, but not right now. Since I fried two hard drives on my move, I've started toying around with iDrive for backing up my music. It's $5/mo. for 150 GB, and let's hope it works. Mozy & Carbonite are around $5/mo. for unlimited storage, but I've read plenty of reports that those two are great at storing your data, but essentially worthless when you want to retrieve it.

Yeah, I'm wary of Carbonite simply because they advertise on XM and basic cable. I smell snake oil.

We have a dedicated server on site that backs up everything, and then certain stuff stored in cloud based service. Of course I have no idea how to operate either - I pay someone to deal with it.
