computing" really means.  In particular you won't really own your software 
(not that you do now!), it will be "in the cloud" and you will be paying to 
access it on a use or time basis and your data will be stored "in the cloud" 
and you will be paying to store it there and won't really have access to it 
except through the "cloud".   Your access will be through a broadband/high 
speed comm link that you will also be paying for on a time or data basis.  I 
strongly believe that when you elect to use mobile devices, you are 
committing to "the cloud".   I expect new operating systems will be 
optimized for the smart mobile terminals like smart phones and tablets at 
the expense of traditional laptops and desktops.  I think its a very bleak 
outlook.  Of course our government will not be trying to pry into the data 
that freedom loving citizens have placed there!

Have fun,

Kerry
