A new useful tool for school!

Getting caught up on my online reading last weekend, I came across this David Pogue New York Times blog entry on Microsoft's Skydrive service. This is a free 25 GB server share somewhere in the "cloud" where one can store files. This is the perfect solution for Digital Art and Photography classes where large files are created. Rather than save work on a flash drive to bring home, students can save their work on their Skydrive. A related program, SDexplorer, allows one to treat the Skydrive just like a flash drive or a floppy disk, dragging and dropping files from the school or home computer to the Skydrive. A nifty, free, solution to a longtime problem. How nice!
