Am I alone in not using or wanting to use the "Cloud" ...
Carol Haynes:
+1
The other worry I have is that any company at any time can rewrite its terms and conditions - it is bad enough when you buy software but when they control your data that is a frightening prospect!
Stoic Joker:
I hate cloud computing, and every other vapid bit of sheeple herding marketing hype the corporate masters keep trying to enslave people with.
Cloud = "reoccurring revenue stream" ... Which is guaranteed buy the fear of lost data. The only guarantee you get however is completely vapor.

No need to mince words or pull punches SJ! Tell us how you really feel about the cloud. :P

I guess I'll come down on the other side of the fence, because while I don't blithely use any services (my drop box never held important data) JungleDisk has saved me more than once, and Google Documents has definitely facilitated a lot of the work that I've done. It's just like anything else to me- a tool, and one that is to be used when appropriate.
Deozaan:
I dunno. I kinda like it. The "cloud," that is.
