Don't fall for this. The person claimed he needed to read his emails when he wasn't online. I pointed out the fallacy involved. Namely, that if he had a job that *really* required this, he could get cell coverage over most of the country.
Of course, it turned out he really has no such need, and is just using that as yet another excuse to cling to his old email app. Unlimited emails are available with $50/mo cell plans. That's close to what most people pay, often for everyone in the family, including the kids! If you have a job that really requires the best, unlimited cell internet is about $150/mo, but your employer might pay for it. Limited internet is about $100/mo, or only $600 more per year - hardly out of the range of most people. But this is all topic hijacking anyway, as I really started the thread to discuss online storage. Some people seem convinced cloud storage is evil, and I just want them to know it's becoming darned convenient.
