In this day and age, computing has turned into commodity (similar to how electric power and indoor plumbing have become a commodity, something we all take as given and simply continue paying monthly charges for using these commodities). The prices are eroding left, right and centre. And they're continuing to erode. The prices of Amazon's services have been on a constant down slide, and the trend will not only continue, it will accelerate. I predict that, in not too distant future, it will be financially feasible for common households to store the backup of their precious digital media in the cloud, with a reputable vendor (or, with a select few reputable vendors). -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85651 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
