I work in a lab where many of the (Windows) computers are fairly stand-alone and single-purpose, attached to various lab equipment (spectrophotometers, etc), and connected to the network principally to let people e-mail themselves/post on Google docs whatever results they need.
Is there some script/program that could do something like this automatically? I was thinking about making a little one that would just look for some magic file or magic name containing some address that would tell it where to e-mail new things it sees.
Using shared Dropbox folder, Google Docs collection, etc. seems a little onerous as one would have to manually add other users to it (assuming they even had an account). This would be used by non-computery people as well, who may be scared of a black window with monospaced text.

Windows; the software of science (the most highly supported one by scientific equipment manufacturers) :P – Nick T – 2011-08-06T02:11:26.943
