**Additionally, I abhor the idea of me not owning the location where my data is stored. How is that good for me as a business?
Sorry I'm late to the party :) You said it. The security implications about something like this really bother me. I have to be a lot more confident about the security of my transport protocols and the level of trust between other systems I communicate with before I feel okay with storing apps and other data out there in "the cloud." Can you guys imagine having a Citrix environment located out there on the public Internet? :P Having said that, I'm interested to see where this goes. Things like the new Palm Pre operating system and Moblin really intrigue me, and while I think they're most certainly the future of portable devices, I'm not so sure how I feel about desktop computing heading in that direction.

At P&,, we are committed to keeping your data confidential which is why we are implementing new email encryption software. This software inspects all outbound emails from our firm. Emails that contain attachments will require you to enter a password to download the file. This ensures that your confidential data cannot be read by anyone other than the intended recipient. Emails with attachments will include a link to a secure web server. Click on the link to download the attachment. The first time you receive a secure email from the firm you will be required to setup a password. This will be your password to access future attachments. For our clients and others, there will be a small step to download the encrypted files; however, we believe the added confidentiality benefits far outweigh the few seconds that are required to access the attachment. If you have questions regarding this new process or if you forget your password, please contact Jessica Aymond, P& Network Administrator, at 225.922.4600. =====================================================================================================
