17 July 2013 Main Meeting

Meeting Summary…

July’s topics: We discussed differences between Apple‘s iCloud service and Dropbox‘s Cloud storage and file-sharing service. Two Cloud backup applications had enthusiasts: Arq — online backup built especially for the Mac; and Crashplan — offsite, onsite, & Cloud backup service, with easy-to-restore features. Plus, Ian gave a demonstration of… Burn Note, a web secure, timed-message service, great for sharing passwords, etc. (A big thank you to the ten who shared their knowledge on these topics. It made for a great evening [using Petrini’s wireless mic set-up this time].)
