Speaking as a guy who traveled with a "laptop" before any (ok, ok, most) of the rest of you, before the term "laptop" was coined, all I can say is :

The "cloud" is crap. Remember when computers were going to mean a "paperless" society?

Anybody who worships at the alter of "the cloud" will find a new place of worship as soon as they spend a couple days with no internet access, yet in desperate need of info from "the cloud".

At least, that's what I think,
