[Mind's Eye] Re: the cloud

Heh how long have you been posting to forums like this Alan? Got a
Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail account? Subscibribe to Flikr, or any number
of music radio/comunities?

The Cloud is not new we have all been doing it for as long as we have
been using the internet. Data stored off site and accesiable by the
internet, that is the cloud in a nutshell, client/server access via
the www.

Myself I'm a little old fashioned, I buy CD's coz I want the original
copy in case my electronic media gets wiped, stolen, corrupted.
Interesting times coming though, I mean if you look at it, ask your
self this question, where is your wealth?

When you deposit cash into your bank, and add to your total account,
is all of that figure cash money? When you draw cash out from an ATM
are you not just cashyfiying your electronic money? Have we all not
been using Cloud banking for for so long and we didn't realise?
