2. What exactly is it?
• Evernote is a cloud-based storage system that allows
you to store, organize and retrieve electronic notes &
files of all sorts using a variety of platforms or devices.
• You can upload up to 40 MBs of data per month for
free (or 1 GB of data for $5/Mo or $45/Yr).
• It works from your browser or as an application for
Window’s and Mac computers, or from many mobile
devices such as iPhones, Galaxy or Motorola
SmartPhones.

3. Is it safe and secure?
• In general, it is as secure as your email. While it is a great
place to store nearly everything, key financial & medical
records and passwords should probably use more a more
encrypted storage method.
• Evernote keeps your PC or Mac synchronized with the
cloud-based copy of your database so you can also access it
locally if the net fails you.
• Information is all stored in XML format so that it is
transportable if anything happens to Evernote.

4. How do I get it? Easy it IS!
• Go to www.evernote.com and click on the Get Started link to
sign up for a free account.
• Then go to the downloads section. You’ll want an application
for your OS (Mac or Windows), a web Clipper for your
browser and possibly a client for your smart phone.
• Note the email address they give you when they confirm your
information. You’ll need it if you want to email stuff directly
into your Evernote database. @myEN works for the twits!
