- Dropload is a place for you to drop your files off and have them picked up by someone else at a later time. Recipients you specify are sent an email with instructions on how to download the file. Files are removed from the system after 7 days, regardless if they have been picked up or not. You can upload any type of file, mp3, movies, docs, pdfs, up to 100MB each! Recipients can be anyone with an email address.
- YouSendIt - Choose who you want to send a file to. You can specify multiple email addresses separated by commas. Select a file to send. Click on Send. YouSendIt will automatically email your recipient a link to your file stored on our server. Your file will be deleted after 7 days or 25 downloads, whichever occurs first.

Most MVPs do not appreciate unsolicited e-mail requests for help! These go against the goal of helping the most folks possible for the given investment of time and energy.

- OEM.com simplifies the arduous task of locating components, applications, software, hardware and parts through our comprehensive, search-friendly indexes. - OEM software/hardware is not supported by the manufacturer. Example: If you buy an OEM version of Windows XP software, Microsoft will not support it. Support is to come from the VAR (value added vendor) such as Dell, etc. and they are to support it, but unfortunately many OEM versions are sold by computer stores and/or online dealers and you don't have anywhere to go to get support. If you don't run into problems, you save some money, but..... buyer beware! -Gene
