This is a really useful service that allows you to use any PC or wireless device and access your own PC. So you have direct access to your files and email. It means you can work from anywhere and still be able to logon to your own PC without having to lug it around with you. It also means if you need to travel but need to have access to your computer and email, you don't have to drag your PC along. You can take a free trial for one PC for 30 days. Or if you want to subscribe the cost is €143.99 for 1 year for 1 PC. If you want to use the service for your business it will cost approx. €1,079.90 a year for 10 PCs'.

 

 

If you are finding that your PC is slowing down because you are running out of storage space then you might want to consider www.adrive.com. This online service offers you the chance to store up to 50GB of material for free.   Once you have registered (easy to do on the website and by confirming the email they will send you) you simply upload the files you want to store.

 

 

If you like radio there is no limit to the number of stations you can listen to via the web from anywhere in the world. We are no longer confined by the broadcast range of our radios. www.radiopaq.com lets you listen to radio stations from all round the world, as well as PodCasts without the need to download them. While you were listening you could also read news from trusted sources I particularly like Stephen Fry's podgrames. It is a really easy website to use and to find the kind of programmes to suit your interests.

 

 

January is a great time for fresh starts, however it can also be a bit daunting to plan how you are going to get where you want to go. This website is a good place to start. Essentially on horsemouth you can get in touch and get advice from someone who has experienced what you are about to go through, someone who has been there and done that. It also allows you to get advice but still be anonymous, confidential and secure. Areas covered include personal issues you face in life, education choices and work.
