To what degree is Cloud media hype to con users into paying for services which they can handle on their own computers with much less exposure and atfar lower cost. A number of software suppliers have long had visions of turning thefunctions handled by software into subscription services where the clientpays, and pays until hell freezes over. It will be a cold day in hellbefore I agree to that business model and even colder before I let themcontrol my data. Ronald J. Riley, I am speaking only on my own behalf.
