[Sussex] Thanks for the DropBox talk Gavin

[frank james]

Hi Fay,glad to learn that Gerry is trying hard with ekiga. It doesn't seem the most popoular topic. Gavin has had a go and had some difficulties, I agree that it is not a very useful tool...but I get a lot of fun out of using it daily to talk to Brian sip:odont at ekiga,net in Upper Hutt NZ.I will try to contact Gerry whenever I can.Likewise Eldy seems to be difficult for some although it is designed for the ELDERLY so perhaps not very useful for our experts!!Thanks Alex for getting me hooked to the internet, and nice to meet Simon and hear how the OU is moving into Linux.I bookmarked the two topics mentioned and will have a look at them. Do find time for Ekiga Fay, it would be nice to talk to you sometime!Frank

Thanks Gavin for the quickie talk on DropBox, what it does and 
how it can be used.

I didn't get into the whole cloud thing - didn't have a need. But 
it seems different now I have the name of a product that does 
it.

Also learned a new term: freemium. Great staff :)

Gerry gave us a verdict on how it behaved on his server, using 
up resources, which was useful. I've just checked up on polling, 
and the first forum result I found suggests it doesn't. 
http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=5558. Pity you had to 
take it off again, perhaps there's some configuration tweak that 
would make it behave.

Fay
