Exactly! Look where the graph is taking us: towards NO private data storage, no desktops, everything is 'mobile' and all content (especially licensed content) resides in the cloud except what's needed locally in cache RAM on the device. I'm not quite ready to be so dependent, so tied-in & tied-up, to any one single thing -- and to a potential single point of failure at that. No one else feels a bit _powned_ by the paradigm or where it's leading? _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
