This is not to say that I'm not impressed by cloud computing. For a lot of things it'll be great. I'm just not convinced it'll out and out replace local storage. I certainly intend on keeping my personal saved files local at the very least, with "the cloud" simply a backup.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
