Hard drives as you say do cost money. I prefer cloud computing and the reason why I am using Open Office is that I need professional docs which I can't get with Google.

I cannot claim any knowledge of the retail market in London, but here in Portland, Oregon, USA I can buy a one-terabyte external USB drive (which should be easily attached to *any* form of computer nowadays) for the equivalent of just over 52 pounds. And cloud computing imposes some very real risks, not least of which is a rather unsettling loss of control.
