The Lima device is connected to all of your WyFy connected devices, and
therefore can be accessed from anywhere, just like you can access Dropbox
on any device from anywhere. You are able to connect to the Lima just like
you sign in to Dropbox. Below are a couple of questions that may help, you
can also go to the Lima website at:

www.MeetLima.com

Here is the content that I mentioned, the "Help" section of the website
will provide some much more detailed information:

------------------

Do I get any online storage with Lima?

Lima doesn’t provide you any online storage. The fact that you don't store
your data online doesn't mean that you can't access your data from outside
your house. Your Lima is connected to your Internet router which means you
can access all your files from wherever you are in the world just like you
can from the cloud.

Because of the cloud’s limited capabilities, all of your storage is at
home, provided by the hard drives you connect to your Lima and computers:
if you connect a 3TB hard-drive, you'll have 3TB of storage.


How does Lima differ from cloud services such as Dropbox, One Drive,
Google Drive, iCloud etc?

Lima is different from Cloud services for many reasons: It’s private: your
data is stored on the hard drive attached to your Lima device instead of
being stored on an unknown and distant server. This way, you keep total
control over your data and your privacy is protected: no third-party
server, no crawling of your files, etc. Nobody can access your data but
yourself. More space available: Cloud services need local storage on your
computer. If you want to put 200 GB on the Cloud, it will take 200 GB on
your computer. With Lima, you are no longer limited by your device’s
storage. Have a 2TB hard drive? Then you can put, access and use 2TB of
files on all your devices. It's yours: you buy a Lima once, get a hard
drive that will fit your storage needs, and that's it. No monthly fees.
You're not renting space on someone else's computer: you truly have your
own storage.

-----------------

You can still have a free Dropbox account if you like to share files
between other people not connected to your network. Two GB of storage just
isn't enough for me to back up what I need to, therefore I have been
paying for the 1 TB plan at $9.99 per month. In 10 months, I will have
paid for the Lima device itself.

Yes but don't know how that would work with sharing with everyone and how
portable is this? As this is one of the purpose of cloud storage is to
have
your stuff everywhere. Also does this require a power supply? If so then
this would make it portability not very good as if you have to have power
for this thing . I do agree it would be a good backup device .

There is now a device that you can connect to your router and access via
WyFy called Lima. You have to connect your own external hard drives to
this
device, but it is accessible by any type of device, Windows, Mac, I
Device,
or Android device. It will support up to 7 TB of storage, and the cost for
the Lima only is $99. There is currently a waiting list to purchase the
device. Sounds like a great alternative to the cloud, and also a great
back
up device. If you have some external hard drives available, less than 1
year
of say Dropbox service at 1 TB will pay for the device. I am on the list
for
one now.

Hi, a thought here. Why not just upload your files to the BGZ (Blind Geek Zone site) that is if they are podcast. Another solution and it is not free is to create your own site and have them up on it. You could start small and then build up as needed if you ended up with a lot of files and band width. You can also use Google drive or One drive but it is not easy to share files with them as it is with drop box. You can do it but there is a lot more steps. I don’t know if they have a band width cap or not. I don’t know if you could by paying for a drop box account would solve the band width problem or not but I wuld think it would for the most part.

Fair point about the file limits for free accounts; however, the potentially malicious ads could be easily be bypassed with Firefox and the right assortment of protective addons.

Evidently, some downloadsI offer are becoming well enough known that I should consider getting a higher capacity service.  I'm using a free Drop Box account and I just found out my public links are generating too much traffic and are temporarily disabled.  I would consider placing certain files I believe to be popular and/or are also large files on an alternative free service. 

 

What services do people like?

There is not going to be a resolution to this, but this beast belongs
to Carlos so whatever he says, goes.

Just wait until someone writes an entire book and Rob responds lol.

You can try the Logitech H800.

It can operate in one of two wireless modes. Bluetooth or RF via the included USB transceiver.

Hi All,

I am looking for Recommendations for Blue-Tooth Headsets,

specifically over-the-ear.

I have an in-ear headset, but I find it to be uncomfortable and people I
talk to

using this headset, tell me that my voice sounds muffled.

I plan on using this primarily with my cell phone, but would like to switch
to other devices from time to time.

Does anyone have any first-hand experience with an over-the ear headset?

Thanks in advance,

Richard

I'm not sure to which browse dialog you are referring, but this is not required in the browse dialog for a new shortcut.

If Bill is using the browse function to locate the executable file to send a shortcut to the desktop, it is possible that the folder which contains this file has the "Closed/Open" access by using the left and right arrow keys. If you open the folder by pressing the right arrow key, most single files will not appear in this view. You must first press the space bar to ensure that the folder is in focus, then tab to open the contents of the folder. In this view, you will see all files and folders within the folder. Scroll down to the executable file, press the Applications key and select either "Create Shortcut" or "Send To" to get your shortcut back onto the desktop.

I'm not sure what you mean by the wizard. How exactly are you trying to add
the shortcut back to the desktop?
