Steve, you finally pulled back the curtain to show that the great and powerful "Cloud" is really a marketing humbug (at least the way they are pitching it)....and one other thing: who takes the blame when someone walks off with your precious data or the cloud vanishes because the vender comes under attack? You do!
In anticipation of the probably debate that some data isn't that important...
If you can live without the data, and it isn't "precious" or important, then why are you saving it? Why would you want to pay someone else to save it?
Thanks, j_e_o for prompting me on this, I had a tought time coming up with an example in my post. Although I am sure there is some reason to use the cloud, I just can't come up with a good one.
