Re Windows Live SkyDrive

Last night one of my peers left her flash RAM in the computer. Fortunately for her I saw it and rescued it. This could have been catastrophic, indeed Claire lost her Flash RAM and had to rewrite all of her assignments. I am looking into using Windows Live SkyDrive as it has 25Gb storage for the right kind of price, that is free of charge. Maybe it is the flash RAM you cannot lose as long as you remember the password.
I have uploaded one of my assignments and will attempt to recover it at CityU today. It could well save all sorts of grief using SkyDrive.
To access SkyDrive sign into Windows Live. On the top task bar on the right there is a button called More. Click on that and then click on SkyDrive. Then you can upload or download stuff to SkyDrive, public or private viewing. To download stuff go to the Windows Live web site, sign in go to SkyDrive locate the document and download it. Your file will look like _your.file.docx_. Then you have to select a programme to open it. I have tried this for small files and big files. Small files upload and download quickly. Big files take a lot longer, so don't throw away your flash RAMs quite yet, and don't lose them either !
