I'm inclined to think that once you're locked into that scenario, you're also going to be locked into proprietary software. Just about the whole basis of cloud computing is *making* *you* *pay* for every damn thing that you do (access, store, use, etc.). It's taking vendor lock-in to the max. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.7.9-104.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Feb 24 19:19:12 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
