That is good news. Thank you for this information and I will have to give it
a try after church tomorrow.

Two other ways. Either do command n to open new window and it will also be
in the bottom of your sidebar, or you will see it in the browser. Or a
faster way, is to just line up on it and do command o which will open it.
At that point since it is an open window you can navigate around the whole
computer so if you wanted to move a file from documents you can just go to
their via sidebar, although perhaps there is another shortcut that I can't
remember at the moment, then find the document, command c to copy, then go
back down the sidebar to your external drive, and either paste via command
v, or move the file via command option v.
For some reason in the past two major OS upgrades the VO spacebar to open
things on desktop doesn't always work. Fortunately there are usually two or
three different ways to skin the given cat.

I may have to checkout Send Space at a later date if I start running low on

available, 2 external drives, 1 TB on my desktop with only slightly over 200
GB used and now the MAC with 1 TB of space and all of its memory except what
the system required. However, I like the idea of having more accessible room
on my hard drives in case of a need. Speaking of hard drives I was listening
to a podcast regarding the iMac and one part told me to press the keys to go
to the desk top. Once on the desk top it told me to then press the VO keys
plus spacebar to go into the hard drive. I do that, but no go. Is thee
another way to get into the hard drive?

No on sendspace once it's up there it's there and you can remove the file
from your computer. In that way it is literally a storage place, whereas
dropbox is more of a cloud service, sendspace is a storage service.
If you set up a pro account theoretically your space in sendspace is
unlimited. Their limits involve size of files to be uploaded, nothing more
than 4 gigs, but if you upload it as a folder in itself thus braking down
the files within as sub files it can be up to 1000 items that would show in
the viewer. So once your remote folder gets over 1000 items showing in
viewer you get an obnoxious warning from sendspace. Well to get around that
you just create folders and move the items into those, and you can sub
folder within those folders of course as well. Say for example: you have
your main remote folder, so you create a books folder, then brake that down
to fiction as a sub folder, and non fiction as another sub folder. Then of
course if you have multiple books from same author you have that author as a
folder then you won't be showing all of that in your remote folder. You can
also upload files directly into one of those sub folders. All you have to
do is get to that sub folder, and open it then choose all the files you want
to upload into it, get it started, then you can either go back in history to
the previous folder, or go to the home folder in remote which would be your
main remote folder. So you can put a lot of stuff up there. Now free
accounts is a different ball game. You can put a lot of stuff up there, but
you have to have download activity happening with it or the files will
expire. But as you probably remember back when you joined the list I was
using sendspace as a storage drive basically to store stuff because I only
had a 40 gig hard drive. So as you were joining the grow over at yahoo I
was loading a lot of stuff over there simply to keep some space clear on my
computer's hard drive. That is why I tended to be more reluctant to use
dropbox because I was having to maintain a copy basically on the computer,
although actually I don't think it is on it once it's uploaded to dropbox,
but dropbox is so limited for free accounts. Dropbox though has been vary
handy for putting stuff into fem the Mac then pulling it down from the linux
machine, because the linux version of sendspace wizard is so out of date and
useless accessibility wise. Of course I can put stuff on an external drive
and carry it over and hook it on linux machine too, which I do that more
often now and that is faster and can handle larger files and whole folders
of course. But dropbox has still been handy between machines.But sendspace
wizard in windows and mac are both quite usable and accessible. Gives you
another place to back upup stuff too. Well I think it's worth it at least.

Sounds like a good crop ahead of schedule.
I am glad to hear that Pat continues to improve. Thos are in my opinion
definitely good signs you are observing.

Well I've been sort of busy reorganizing the stuff I have up in senspace and
sending up more stuff up there, so of course when stuff is uploading I tend
to not do a lot of other stuff with the internet because the other stuff
will be slowed down. Have 20 items going up there today now, but these
aren't as large of files, so hopefully they will get up there fairly soon.
Well by late afternoon or early evening.
Our weather here this week is quite moderate, highs from mid 70s to 80,
humidity is fairly low, and past few nights have dropped into the upper 50s.
Wouldn't mind it if summer was like that throughout, but I'm sure it will
change again by next week and will get hotter again. However, I don't think
we've gotten above 100 degrees yet this year. Only maybe via heat index,
but not in actual temperature. But there is a lot of summer left yet.
They always say "corn knee high by 4th of July is going to be a good crop."
Well that may have worked a century ago, it was head high and taller already
by the 4th this year. There are some fields with gaps though from the
flooding earlier this year, but any corn that is out there should do well
this year. We've had enough heat and humidity, and then the heat backed off
this week so it won't be stressed for a while then.
Patti is quietly improving as well. Doing a little more on her own, or
trying to at least, and speaking up a little more especially when I am
teasing her to provoke her to speak up more *lol*. Yes it's working *lol*.
Not much else from around here though.
