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? --- Christopher Gilland JAWS Certified, 2016.

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.

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.
