Hi, I really like Cloud services, but do prefer when they have off-line capabilities. Using Google Drive for example, or a ChromeBook, if they did not allow for off-line usage, one would be rather frustrated when the Internet access was unavailable. Normally, I live somewhat in the middle of nowhere, but with excellent Internet connectivity. So, Internet access between home and elsewhere is rather spotty. Being able to work off-line with syncing once you're back on line is the best option in my opinion. Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada

I like the cloud for some things such as syncing calendars with my husband, wherever either of us happens to be, has avoided many an unfortunate clash of appointments. However, we’re lucky and live in an area with good fast internet access. I run a French discussion list for blind users of Apple products and many list members live in places without this luxury, such as parts of North and West Africa, and even parts of rural France. I was recently unable to provide distance training to a new Mac user because his internet connection was insufficient to handle TeamViewer and Skype at the same time.
