We received another question from a TechRepublic member that we’d like to feature in this post. Please explain your answer(s) in the discussion thread.
Question by TR member ihsscj:
“I am currently laid off from an IT position that I had for three years. I do not have a computer of my own. I use public computers, such as those available at libraries. I need an efficient means of storing data. I have a flash drive, but I tend to forget it, leaving it in the jack when I leave the computer. Of course, when I do that, I don’t generally find it again — they’re $10 and up! Is there such a thing as networked file storage for individuals? What companies offer such a thing, if any?”
Here are some additional questions from last week:
My name is Sonja Thompson. I've worked for TechRepublic since October of 1999, starting with the enewsletter team, then with the Premium Products group (creating books and CDs), as well as programming some of the elements on the site. After leading the Tech News team on TR, I jumped at the opportunity to switch gears and try my hand at video editing, podcasts, and other forms of multimedia on the site. I'm currently the host of the Smartphones blog, plus I edit the TR Dojo video series. \ \ I graduated from the University of Louisville. Since then, I've also completed several technology related courses from SmartPlanet. My goal is to learn about the TR community, interact with members on the site, and hopefully encourage more people to participate - and more often.
