Google Docs Rocks!

This is an addendum to my previous post, Google Docs Ditty: Google Docs saved my butt last weekend. It was Sunday night, I was finishing up my school assignments that were due to be emailed by the following day. And guess what happened? The computer crashed.

Luckily, just THAT DAY I had saved a copy to Google Docs as a backup (actually, I was procrastinating earlier in the day, and thinking what else I could do on the internet before continuing with my school work, and the thought popped into my head "I could save a copy of my Word files to Google Docs as a back-up." So I did. Yes, I have a jumpdrive, but I was too lazy to go get it. I mean, the internet is right there.). What a freakin' coincidence! I was able to access my file from my roommate's laptop and finish my assignments on time, thanks to Google Docs. The ONLY downside was that some of the formatting was lost, but that doesn't matter as much as the actual data. I shudder to think what the outcome would have been had I not just learned about Google Docs at work. Thank you Discovery 2.0!
