I like Amazon, too, but they are still a big corporation and big corporations (as well as governments) do flaky things from time to time. Remember the George Orwell "1984" incident about a year & a half ago? Amazon found they sold a Kindle edition of the book they shouldn't have and they went out and literally erased everyone's copy. That made a real big stink, and certainly there was no little irony due to the book involved. Like noted above, I'd probably use a personal cloud if the concept takes off, but you'd still have a hard time prying my fingers off my local copies. -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85651 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
