I use SyncToy to keep my files backed up on a flash drive and external hard drive. Flash drives are the new trend among teachers at work and I was surprised (well not that surprised) to find that my colleagues have been saving files to these drives without backing them up. They are small, so naturally they get lost. SyncToy is an easy solution.

So I was dissapointed to find that I couldn’t install it on my new Vista machine. If anyone else is having similar issues the cnet download works!

In response to Rob’s Challenge.

I don’t have a working prototype yet but I think I might have something here.

Well at least we won’t have to buy new screen protectors.

Now that I’m a podcast junky, I’ve noticed that I tend to listen to certain podcasts in certain locations. It’s not 100% but they’ve all seemed to find their own geographical category.
