It would be useful to know, but I can't find any mention of it on their website: http://www.eeestorage.com/ Ibrahim's absolutely right though. Regardless of which online service you use, you always run the risk of losing your files if their servers go down or the company goes bust. Reading through the EEE Storage terms and conditions, they recommend making backups of all your data.

A lot of these free services use advertising to generate revenue, elsehow could they survive. I suggest you read the privacy, terms and conditions and check out other reviews where ever possible before plonking for a storage solution. If the company folds, the servers go offline or something disastrous like that happens, you could be choking back sobs asall your precious files are deleted or lost. Finally, always keep a backupof your files on a storage medium such as a hard drive, pen disk or other secure drive. Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Beasley" <pjbeasley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, January 03, 2009 2:38 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: NetbooksI have taken a look at this and it sounds too good to be true.

Is itfast? Is the service well-known? I use Livedrive on my netbook, unlimited,free, storage space, and the service is very fast. It adds an extra drive to 'My Computer', drive L, so its very easy just to push files up there. www.livedrive.com-----Original Message----- From: Léonie Watson <tink@xxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Saturday, January 03, 2009 02:17:13 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: NetbooksYes, that's the same one. Definitely a bargain from Play. It doesn't seem to mention the 20Gb online storage though, which I had included when I bought mine from PC World and which Amazon also mention.It's effectively 20Gb of storage space that you can access online.Instead of storing things on your netbook, you can store them online usingthis service. I haven't used mine yet, but one useful thing would be to useit to store files as backup. That way, if your netbook was lost or stolen,you'd still have copies of all your files.Léonie.-- http://www.tink.co.uk/_____From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of ANDY COLLINS Sent: 03 January 2009 14:01 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: NetbooksHi Léonie -Not sure what you mean by off-site storage?Also, found what might be the same machine on Play for £249.99; is this it:Asus Eee PC 901 XP / Atom N270 1.6GHz / 1GB / 12GB / 8.9" / XP Home / NetBook / Black* Processor: Intel Atom N270 1.6Ghz Processor (533 MHz FSB, 512 KB L2 cache)* Memory: 1GB* HD Capacity: 12GB SSD* Display: 8.9" WSVGA (1024 x 600)* Graphics Card: Integrated* Operating System: Windows XP Home* Optical Drive: None* Networking: 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, 10/100 Fast Ethernet, Bluetooth 2.0EDR* Card Reader MMC / SD (SDHC)* Camera: 1.3M Pixel* Audio: Dolby Sound Room Certified* Stereo speaker* Digital Array Mic* Dimensions: 22.5cm(W) x 17.0cm(D) x 2cm~3.38cm(H)* Weight 1.1 kgThanks -Andy----- Original Message ----- From: Léonie Watson <mailto:tink@xxxxxxxxxx>To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, January 03, 2009 1:15 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: NetbooksI agree, the 901 is a great bit of kit. It's feature rich and has better network support than most other netbooks. Storage space wasn't a factor for me either, but I liked the 20Gb off-site storage space offered as part of the package.The keyboard quirks do take a little getting used to, but no more than getting used to the switch from a desktop to laptop keyboard generally. Ilove the fact the 901 is small enough to fit into my usual bag, so there'sno need to carry extra baggage around. It's light too, at just 1.1Kg, so is really no hassle to carry around.The battery life is superb. I easily get five or six hours up time, from full charge. Running Win XP, Jaws and several MS apps, this is definitely good going.It's also one of the cheapest options out there. Amazon have it for just £285 at the moment.http://www.amazon.co.uk/BK007X-Netbook-Windows-Preloaded-Black/dp/B001C9SXKC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8<http://www.amazon.co.uk/BK007X-Netbook-Windows-Preloaded-Black/dp/B001C9SXKC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1230987162&sr=1-1> &s=electronics&qid=1230987162&sr=1-1Léonie.-- http://www.tink.co.uk/_____From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Barbara Wilson Sent: 03 January 2009 08:10 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: NetbooksHi AndyJust my own personal thoughts:I went for the Asus even though it has a small memory as Steve says. Mainly because I don't want it to store files on and with a larger memory I felt Imight be tempted to do this and slow the whole thing down. Mine is an AsusEee PC 901 and has everything I need - Bluetooth, wireless, memory card slot, three USB ports etc. The keys are not too small either. A few things - The right hand shift is in a different place, there is no control on the right side and the Enter key is not its usual shape. Once you get used to these things it is a great little piece of kit. It is practically silenteven when the fan is going, the speakers are not at all tinny as they were with my larger laptop and even with 1GB of RAM it is very fast, especiallywhen on the Internet via my wireless connection.I got mine on Amazon not Play simply because they had a nice little pink one, but I don't suppose that would appeal to you!With all the hype about the NC10 on here which would not be as small and neat as mine, I just thought it was about time someone spoke up for the poor old Asuses!Barbara----- Original Message ----- From: ANDY COLLINS <mailto:Andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, January 02, 2009 7:32 PM Subject: [access-uk] NetbooksHi all -Need some input here from you all, including Steve Nutt and Jackie Cairns please.I'm looking at netbooks, and would like clarification on the Samsung that Jackie and others have bought recently, as well as info on the Asus range that Steve seems to prefer.I'd appreciate make and model please, and any thoughts on the below that Ifound on Play:Asus Eee PC 900 Win-BK / Intel Mobile / 1GB / 12GB / 8.9" / Windows XP / Netbook / Black* Chipset: Intel* CPU: Intel Mobile* Display: 8.9" (1024x600)* Memory (1 slot only): 1024MB* Storage (Solid State, on board): 12GB* Card Reader: SD/MMC* Connection: 802.11 b/g / 10/100 Ethernet* Expansion: 3 USB / VGA Port / Headphone/Mic-in* Camera: Yes (1.3M)* Battery Cell: 4 Cell* Colour and Paint Type: Black* OS: Windows XP (Preloaded) / Windows Live Suite, MS Works* AC Adapter: Output: 9.5V, 22W / Input: 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz universal* Warranty: 2 year UK C&R__________ NOD32 3733 (20090102) Information __________This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com-- Check out my radio and TeamTalk server! http://www.jls-radio.com -- James ScholesE-mail: james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN/Windows Live Messenger: jamesscholes@xxxxxxx AIM: JamesScholes000 Skype: james.scholes Website: http://www.jamesscholes.com Blog: http://www.jamesscholes.com/blog Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/jamesscholes Find me on Facebook!
