Re: DISASTER PLAN

[John I Jones <jijones@usjoneses.com>]

I think the problem was in the file names. tom has just recently  
successfully uploaded his files. I also suggested zipping the files  
(which hides the file names co only the archive name has to conform.  
That also was successful (and saved space)

I also like GetDropBox. I need to do a little more investigation of it.

Thanks

John
