Here is a deal to good to pass up. You can now have 100GB of OneDrive Cloud storage for two years for free. What do you have to do? Click on a link on a their Web page and it is yours.
Go to the Bing Rewards page, click on the OneDrive “100 GB Free link”, and it is yours. If you are not already using OneDrive, I think you will find it very good and very useful.
Your data files are automatically backed up as soon as they are added or changed. Having used it now for a few years, I am a big fan. I have it on all my computers and devices. For example, it backs up my photos from my iPhone almost as soon as I take them. So give it a try.
Well, I have had a long day up in Phoenix so I am going to let you take over from here. Have a great weekend. PS: Don’t miss the first story on Samsung TV’s latest outrage. -JRC
