Re: Computing::: Grid and cloud.
Well, I meant that in terms of user apps such as mail and "desktop" apps in the cloud are quite okay, and I don't share the freakout sentiments about it (just as you said, cd and harddrive backups are there to be), but, when it comes to the point of referring to the cloud to store data (thus avoiding investing in infrastructure), an out period might be a risk to be reckoned with.
