50GB of FREE online storage space from ADrive.com

Last week I was looking around for a free service online to backup some important files. It's always good to keep a backup in case of an emergency. I've been using SkyDrive for a lot of my backups but it's limited to around 2GB. And then I found out about ADrive...


Its capacity is the size of a dual layer blu ray disc. Enough to store around 12,500 or so MP3s. Since it's a free service there is no telling how long it will actually be in business though. Definitely worth looking at if you need to work with larger files and don't have a decent size USB drive to move them. Did I mention it's free? Yeah, that's actually pretty nice. Oh cloud based storage, you are so convenient.

Classic Menu for Office

I've had several requests from users to keep older versions of Office because they don't know how to navigate the newer Office "ribbon" menus. Microsoft has made it a pain for legacy users who may not have the patience or time to relearn an entirely new navigation system.


UBitMenu is a snazzy little program that adds back the classic menu from Office 2003 to your modern Office suite. It adds an extra tab called "Menu" with all the familiar items you are used to. Here's the website where you can download the applicaton:
