Cloud City

Cloud City. The home of Lando Calrissian. Magical floating mining colony on the planet Bespin. It's a great place to own and run. The Empire turns a blind eye to what you do and how you do it provided you pay your dues; however, as someone who relied on the safety and security of the Cloud...just ask Han Solo!

If you have not read the article in the Washington Post regarding T-Mobile's cluster-F with their Sidekick's data backup debacle, here it is---> Sidekick Doh!

Add to it the Carbonite (famed online backup system) who charges a reasonable flat rate of $55.00/yr to lose your data! I will make you a deal. I can guarantee to loose twice the data, in half the time, for one-quarter of the price! Sign up with NOW! This offer will not last!

Cloud computing: the latest and greatest pseudonym for having no control over your data, or access to it. The idea started just a couple of years ago with "mainframe computing", then "terminal computing" and, my favorite, "ROAMING PROFILES". The idea is that, no matter where you go, there you are. If you can find a computer with network access, then you can access your most intimate of files and needed of information. It does not matter which computer you are on. Trust me, your information and vital documents are safe with me! Oh! And did I tell you? I have a great home loan offer for you. No money down, don't pay a cent in principle, and before you know it, your house will double in value!

There is something to be said about the adage, "1 in the hand is worth 2 in the bush." Be smart. Be secure. Heck, be a little bit paranoid. Keep a copy for yourself!!!
