Lenovo Family Cloud

Invitation from Lenovo try out the following products:

Lenovo Family Cloud (Client - phones/tablets)
Lenovo Family Cloud Server (Server - Win10/64bit PC)

Went to my bookmarked Lenovo system scan webpage and one of the software items on the list was indeed the Lenovo Family Cloud Server, went ahead and installed that with no issues.

Lexar Jumpdrive 16GB

Impulse buy - threw this into the basket while shopping at Woolies Brandon Park. Last year put a USB 3.0 PCI card into the Balcony computer and then got a Seagate Expansion Drive 3.0 for backups - this is my first USB 3.0 stick.

Balcony PC update

As posted last Sunday bought from the market, installed and cloned a Sandisk SSD Plus 240GB - all good. Anyway ended up with quite an array of drives (LOL) as Macrium Reflect just tagged every drive with a letter including system partitions etc. Did some cleanup in Disk Management to hide stuff (see picture) so we are tidy again. Next task was to cleanup the SSD as all the user data like docs, photos videos etc is already on (what is now) the F: storage drive - the Samsung 1TB. Note that all the apps including large ones like Office 2007 Pro will stay on the SSD and as you can see from the picture we have 145GB free.

Balcony PC tower upgrades

Balcony desktop tower PC upgrade(s) - the CPU swap from E5200 to E7400 which cost $8.60 went well, now it's time for a SSD so got a Sandisk SSD Plus 240GB from the market today along with SATA and power cables.

ALDI: 4GB High Speed SD Card $12.99

4GB

High speed

Great for use in digital cameras, SD video cam notebooks, PCs with card readers and satellite navigation systems

This works well with my Kodak M753, great price.

I purchased the Imation Apollo Portable 500GB USB Hard Drive for the AKAI AD181X set top box from JB Hi-Fi for $109 as advertised in their catalogue. When I went to buy they were $139 so I said to the nice lady serving me I want that for $109 as per the current catalogue, she was not sure and got someone else involved to discuss and while they were doing that I brought up their website on a Apple Mac (LOL) and they agreed $109 was OK so I had a win.
