Actually, Mary, you're 95% correct, but there is one thing you're failing to 
remember.  Most companies like this have probably upwards of 50 or more 
failover servers on a grid.  So if one goes down, the next one on the grid 
picks up.  As far as us, the en-user are concerned, we'd probably never even 
know it.  Yea for Rade1?

  Cloud is a good thing? In its place, yes. But who remembers mainframes? Maybe 
you are not old enough for that, Scott. When the mainframe goes down, life 
stops. Or at least computer life stops. And you are at the mercy of the 
mainframe or in this case cloud, operators. No update. Well yeah there would be 
updates. And maybe the update you just got broke the app that you've been using 
quite happily. You know how people sort of weight on upgrades to see how they 
go? With this,, it doesn't seem like you would have that option.  I'm certainly 
OK with subscription services that I use on a monthly basis, such as Apple 
Music etc. Although there was that little rumor going around stating that Apple 
was considering dropping downloadable music that you purchase on iTunes. That 
would be a definite showstopper for me. If I really like something, I want to 
own it. I don't want to have to keep paying for every damn month.

    Nah, it’s not a per app charge and you already do this today it’s no 
different.  You pay your SMA fees to the screen reader provider of your choice, 
you pay your office 365 yearly fee, apple music, and so forth.  It’s no 
different.  It’s also a smaller nut to crack up front for a lot of people which 
is a good thing.



    The good news here is no more updates, no flashing, no nothing.  All the 
tricky stuff is handled on the back end by people who do that sort of thing.  
Your device would just work and would automatically update etc.  Cloud is a 
good thing.
