It was like 30 bucks when I got it, might be up to 40.  Pretty compact and efficient program.  Dropbox is free.

Dropbox is a free cloud drive, I can save to it from any of my computers or phone, then retrieve docs from the other devices.

This may be a good place to post Facebook accounts of people you may wish to follow to hear good stuff about writing  publishing and conventions and such. Note that the personal accounts of authors I'm tossing out there I'm merely assuming they're go "Another follower! Yay! Approved"....this isn't a coordinated effort.

Also note personal accounts will of course contain politics, random stuff, etc, not just writing info.
