John Edward on social media, South Park, and paranormal studies

Google has a cloud plan that is actually free! It should be: Google has enough money, they don’t need mine or yours.
Last week we discussed the Dropbox cloud offering. Remember that cloud storage is a great way to back up your files, unless you are my brother who doesn’t believe in the Cloud.
