Review: GoFlex Net – Getting Personal Across the Distance


My 1TB GoFlex Home and my GoFlex Net
with a 1TB (black) and a 500GB GoFlex Ultra-Portable drive(blue)

I received a bunch of great Seagate GoFlex products to try out in our home and I am really very thrilled to get this chance to work with a company that I like very much. I’ve been using the Seagate GoFlex Ultra-Portable Hard Drive on a daily basis. I actually have two of them. There is one that I use to back up all the computers in the house.

My mom gave Eva these toys this past Saturday at Eva’s Plaster Plus birthday party. Eva loves her dolls and she was so good with them today. That is not to say that eventually they will get played with and worn but that is what toys are for, for kids to enjoy them. Someone remind me o fthat when Eva find my stash of Transformers toys fresh and in their boxes and decides to rip them open. Just remind me I said this. I’m probably not going to listen or like it but remind me anyway.
