I agree and to add a comment from my crack pop conspiracy minded brain I would add that what is right by person could be wrong by another. Privacy, security, and ownership of your content is very important and the "cloud" really messes things up... I can see a lot of good uses for the "cloud"... For example "testing environments" where you can rent servers to do testing on... This would be cool but to put my data or to have some company put their data which might have info about me in it is something I don't like, trust, or want... It is scary... and it has nothing to do with not doing anything wrong. or that is my view. As you can tell, I feel pretty strong about this one. DB Douglas A.
