When I first heard about Memeo Instant Backup, I objected that no program that backed up your entire hard drive could possibly be “instant.” Hard drives are getting bigger and bigger, so copying them takes longer and longer. Robert Phillips explained to me that the “instant” part refers to the fact that the backup process starts instantly: as soon as you install the product, it begins backing you … [Read more...]

When Jennifer Davis from thebluedoor invited me to review SocialSafe on this blog, I was faced with a small problem.

It’s a question I hadn’t been asked before. I came across your blog looking for some sync software to support a specific scenario, and thought I’d drop you a line and see if you might have a suggestion. I recently … [Read more...]
