Love that song too - thanks for sharing.

[Tafaer]

That song in the background. I've heard it before and its name is on the tip of my tongue... but I can't for the life of me recall the artist or song name. Does anyone know what it is?

@Tafaer Switchin' to Glide by The Kings

Glide OS is really cool - maybe this will be their theme song...

[Tafaer]

@darenjamesify Thanks for the reply. I forgot to give the time at which the music was playing. What I was referring to was the song playing in the background @ 2:01.

[Tafaer]

@darenjamesify I don't know how, but I was able to remember. The song is Children by Robert Miles. It was one of my late brother's favorite songs.

I tried one-click office2010, and it was awesome, when it worked. The cloud is restricted by bandwidth people.

Glide has the potential of being a game changer because of its cross platform capabilities and unified information management system. It is visionary and highly disruptive. It will be interesting to see where they decide to take this.

how do make your files on computer with the glide server? I've installed their software but got no clue how to sync. Show. Thanks guys.

[davestx]

Its easy. Glide is defaulted to sync with a folder called Glide Desktop that is automatically created when Glide Sync is installed and booted. Just copy your files and folders that you would like to sync to that Glide Desktop folder. You can also select a different folder on your hard drive to sync to by going to your Glide Sync preferences and selecting a new folder on your hard drive.

There are about a dozen different web-desktops like this. They need to differentiate.

For example, I wish there was one geared just for senior citizens customized to do things for people with poor vision. There are so many advantages to this kind of differentiation I wouldn't know where to start.
