Ok, I'm confused, just store the PST elsewhere. The location can be changed.
Sounds like he should make a copy to dropbox, if he wants a copy backed up.
Can't backup an open file after all.
This is just how computers work.

And when you moved your PST file out of the DropBox folder it works fine?

I wonder what is the motivation for consumers to care?

Makes sense for a $100,000+ Ferrari... I mean Tesla.

It's great! No 80-90 a month, now it's 10-20.
Personally I like CBS All Access with Hulu, but sometimes I drop Hulu to get Netflix.
There are 3 or 4 options for lots more channels at 30-40/month. Streaming seems like a good deal so far.
Re:What's the difference between the com and exe extensions? (2008)

The days of .COM/.EXE got me started in programming. I thought, gee, I have some game ideas. So I looked into BASIC, seemed great, but the distributed files required a certain flavor of BASIC. After looking into C for developing standalone binaries, I switched to C. Programming something like DOOM required 'vertical strips' calculated across the screen and other graphics gems, so I learned about graphics gems and programming. C++ and TurboPascal and then Delphi and VB6 were released. Seemed like a never ending journey!
Today we have CocosX for cross-platform sprites so games can be quickly deployed on multiple platforms, plus Unity and Unreal engines for 3D development. It's much better today, but I wonder what it's like to not have the kind of background of learning that I did.
