Interesting. Before Apple called it iCloud, in the first iPhone they had a cloud- syncing service (effectively mac.com and it cost money to use) and I used it to begin with. After a week or so there was a well-publicised outage at Apple and quite a few iPhone users suddenly found all their contacts vanished! I have about 300 - about half business contacts and half personal. Of course, with the cloud, there was no need to back up locally, and I hadn't. My bad. A day or two later the contacts reappeared and all was well. At that point I changed my syncing routine to 'back up locally to this computer' and synced to my Mac. I have never since used the cloud to back up anything. I guess once bitten... The more and more that the personal computing industry pushes cloud storage, the more and more I decided not to take part. .02 -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Producion ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
