Bob, is your hard drive a fake beer can kept in your fridge?
LOL! No actually it is an external USB drive that I save personal
stuff on......
I tried the fake beer can but kept wondering why there were empties in
the fridge and I kept tossing them out...... ;-)
I would think minimal personal info needed for the service would be
secured just like with a credit card. There are secure on-line data
vaults. Nothing would have to be saved off your computer with rented
software - I wouldn't think. You wouldn't need too much at-home
storage. Non volatile memory is cheap. Reading it in the future will
become an industry in itself maybe. I have thought of a simple method
to overcome that problem. Waiting for Jobs, or Gates to ask me about
that... .

My security concerns are probably a combination of my 40 years carrying
a toolbag for IBM, the occasional, and getting more frequent, news
stories about hospitals, universities ( I got a letter from Ohio
University where one of my sons graduated from assuring me that when
their system got hacked that I had nothing to worry about, that my
credit card info was not compromised and that our SSNs were safe), large
corporations, (Boeing, Starbucks) and the like finding that their
systems have been hacked and personal data was compromised. Not all of
the info was stored on stolen laptops, And then there are the security
updates MS sends me every week...... Oh, and my son that has some
experience with security due to his 21+ years in the Army.......
Perhaps I'm overly cautious but that's me.
The way I understand the "rented software", we don't own it now, we just
have a license to use it, is that Gates for example, wants to keep
everything on his site for us. So all we would need is the dumb
computer and a modem.
I have some experience with SAN and NAS systems, but it has all been in
corporate environments, I haven't had any exposure or experience with
global applications. I think the possibility of hacking and the
potential liability would be enormous..... The security would eat up
more resources than all the other applications combined.
Now, back to photography....... :-)
