Ive tried a lot of other solutions and none have been as bullet-proof. It has a fabulous search function. It finds things in milliseconds that I've spent a lot of time trying to find in Windows or Google Desktop. I can be at the Mayo Clinic, sit down at one of their clunky computers a pull up a document. I can call it up on my Android phone or on my little laptop next to my bed. If there was no Dropbox, someone would have to invent it. It is the proof that the Cloud is working.

]]> Comment on Sony and the cool by Scott Green http://www.zumsteg.net/2011/02/01/sony-and-the-cool/comment-page-1/#comment-315656 Scott Green Thu, 03 Feb 2011 15:32:39 +0000 http://www.zumsteg.net/?p=787#comment-315656 I couldn't agree with you more on the Sony products... I used to be strictly a Sony guy with my walkman and stereo's, but now I just can't do it. On a note I find that Samsung is becoming the new version of Sony with more quality products (If purchased from somewhere other than Wal-Mart). Just for fun I also used to enjoy the Sony commercials. Particularly the "Sony. Because Caucasians are just too damn tall" tag line from a lesser known production.

If I have to force something out of my skull and onto the page in front of me, I am never satisfied with it. It always gets revised or trashed. I respect those among us who can manufacture something creative through sheer willpower and adhering to a schedule. If I could learn to do that, I could write something longer than 20 pages. Well, maybe. Personally, the only time I can write at all is in those moments of inspiration.

You guys filled that void and more. Thanks for being right so many times.

The baseball chat kept me coming back every day, and I'll certainly miss the voice of succinct reason. Thanks, man.

As I prefer the Winter the Mariners signed Beltre. It has been informative and entertaining. I followed the game threads on WebTv with dial up. I had to graduate to Mac powerbooks with high speed connections as up until last year I never watched a game without following game thread. And I watched almost every game televised. I'd read USSM at all hours. Sometimes in the early am hours I'd see the awful garbage idiots posted before erased. Your brevity never bothered me. As I once posted my feeling is it is like I am in your living room. Your guest. Your house your rules. I appreciate your time and effort. Feel melancholy that the asses wore you down. You have made a lasting impression. Thank you. Have to admit that I do miss a few of those very entertaining exchanges between You, Jim Thompsen and sanctimonious young Corco. Really some of those were precious. I discovered USSM the end of Summer 2004. As I prefer the Winter the Mariners signed Beltre.
