minimal damage

So this morning as I was doing my word count the computer froze. It was not the first time. But this time letting it sit didn't help: I couldn't turn it off: so I just closed the lid and went and did other things for a few hours

Relief!

Actually, I prefer Dropbox to Googledocs...just sayin'.

That said, I'd better do backups today.

You can uncheck the conversion box! This was a great relief to me. Also, you can upload a whole folder at once if you either use chrome or you install a one-time-only applet. I don't know why it's one-time-only, but they did say you'd have to install the applet every time you wanted to upload a folder.

I am saving everything I write on the laptop in .rtf because the laptop has Open Office and the desktop has Word Perfect and I prefer Word Perfect in general but I'm not going to go to the trouble of installing because the difference is too small to worry about: and although supposedly .doc and .wpd files can be easily converted one to the other, there's always weirdnesses when you do, and everybody can handle .rtf.

What good news!
