I guess I am the only one that remembers mainframe computers. We called them "dumb" terminals for a reason. With cloud computing, the user's device is just an input device coupled with an output device, usually video. The internet connection is no more than a network cable in mainframe terms. The processing and storage remain on the cloud. Just like a mainframe enviroment. I worked in a IBM AIX shop over 10 years ago. We ran off of servers that were expensive in the day but would be worthless today. We ran a network version of Word Perfect (Corel) on black and white monitors with 4M of memory. The system worked great. How would cloud computing be different?? I feel we are coming to a time where we might be moving away from the "personal" OS. Basicly, there will be no need. Hi Frank

A good combination. Very appealing. <em>Robert's last blog post..<a href='http://www.free-speed-reading.com/articles/how-to-eliminate-subvocalization-when-reading' rel="nofollow">How to Eliminate Subvocalization When Reading</a></em> An interesting idea – it should be far more user friendly than anything linux, and work better than anything Microsoft’s ever made.
