I signed up for Office 365 last night.
I bought the 5 pack annual subscription because I'd like to get a Surface at some point and I like the idea of my laptop/surface/phone all working together. I've been using Hotmail, now I use Outlook (same thing) and I've 1 TB for storage (per person) and Office for 5 people for one year ($99.00).
I don't think it is a stellar deal yet I don't think it is over priced either.
I'm a writer (not professionally) so I like the idea of having my documents backed up to the cloud although I intend to do monthly backups onto a USB drive regardless.
Anyone else have this?
Thoughts?

I'll just leave this here:
There's a new Bill proposed in the Senate allowing the feds to capture ALL private communications of ALL people on the planet (yes, including U.S. citizens) - including cloud data - WITHOUT a WARRANT.
At the rate we're going, the government will lay claim to ALL data, everywhere, on any machine connected to the internet, or a network connected to the internet (which they can probably already access anyway).

Well, at least we will be able to rely on them as a backup of last resort...

John,
A vast majority of the American people are too stupid to realize that the moment a person is elected to public office that person becomes a mortal enemy of liberty. It doesn't matter if you voted for that person, contributed to his campaign, or are married to his daughter - he is by definition the personification of tyranny and evil and must be destroyed.
Until such time as we adopt this attitude towards all public officials we'll be in chains and ripe for abuse.
Every elected official should be treated like a criminal and presumed guilty until proven innocent. This is the attitude of the vigilant, the mindset of the free.

It will maybe sound a better deal once they move to the unlimited storage model.
Still, I don't think that 99/year is that bad for 5 licenses + storage.

I use it for my small business and love it. Can access from any device easily, and having the office tools in the cloud is always nice too.
And just recently they upped the OneDrive storage space to unlimited also, though I am not sure in which versions of Office 365

Yep, I have the 5 pack fully utilized. It's auto-drafted each month, so I don't even miss it. It's not a bad deal, but I still think I could do just fine with my locally installed Office 2007, which IMHO did most everything faster than 2013. Still, overall it's worth it for me to have a single license managing them all.

Evidently someone sent me a message via Google.
The message was broken but they've fixed it and now I may view it.
Here is a screenshot of the image: Clicky[^]
All links and so forth have been removed.
Anyways, I'm glad that the broken message has been fixed and I'll give it a read should I ever sign up for Google services.

Well, clearly it's a highly compressed image: they have thrown away all the zero bits (since they mean nothing anyway) leaving only the white ones.
All you have to do is decompress it by putting the zeros bits back where they came from.
I have a good supply of spare zeroes I could email you, if you are getting low.

Anyone owns one or has used one? Costco has it for 299.99 as part of their Christmas sale. Looks like the right size and price for me.

To other uk CPians, I don't know if you are the same in your area, but this year, the postal services is unbelievably slow. Items are taking days longer than usual, even taking into consideration the time of year.
I don't know if this year there is an even bigger demand due to online shopping, but everything is just sooooo sloooooooowwwwwww.........
Edit: helps if I finish the post before submitting......
Is it just an up 'ere thing, or is it the same with you (wherever you are)? Still waiting on stuff that was ordered on 1st December!
