__Agenda (Mike): __ __Drop box __ I. Benefits of Drop Box (Mike illustrates by showing his folder)
 * Share files with others very quickly
 * Access important files anywhere
 * Automatic synching
 * Mobile access

II. Downsides/cautions:
 * privacy
 * Misconception: it's not online storage space... the files still reside on your computer/still takes up room on your computer
 * wifi issue
 * Open Office not readable on iPhone Drop Box app
 * the data still needs to be backed up... if you use Time Machine, it will back it up like any other file. If you're using your laptop, then you'll need to back it up like everything else... though if you are synched to BOTH then Time Machine will have it all backed up
 * don't relocate the Drop Box folder on your desktop
 * limited storage space (not a problem, though, if you spread the word)

III. Time to install, share files, experiment, share new possibilities with each other
