[Year 12 IT Apps] Article on cloud computing

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Yes Mark, your cloud docs are stored in a shipping container located in a
deep salt mine from memory. I'll drop over and check when I am in the USA
next year. ;-)

You are right .. more and more stuff is being outsourced and the storage is
moving online. I am making great use of Dropbox to shuffle files between
home. my laptop and my school desktop.

Regards Roland
