The cloud solves the physical problem. For example, if the house or office burns down, the extra mountable disk isn't going to help (unless you've gone to some extraordinary extents involving drilling holes in fireproof boxes or burying your extra disks in your apocalypse shelter under your house ... or perhaps on a wifi-enabled drone that continually circles above you). But that doesn't stop you from using rsync to a remote machine, which is what I used to do before I found SparkleShare. -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-255-2847, http://tempusdictum.com I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance. -- Socrates ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com
