I don't understand?

We have lots of clouds in the UK right now - what happens when they move? Does our data move with them and how can we keep our data safe if they do!!!

What if the clouds turn to storm clouds - does that mean they need a new operating system :-((( will I have to install Windows Umbrella 5.1 or Kagool 3.6 to keep my connection secure (and dry)?

I'm worried - PLEASE HELP!!!!!

It is a marketing attempt to create an illusion about the usual rain, fog and coastal breeze.

Keeping a stiff upper lip and wearing wellingtons hasn't failed for centuries, so why should it now?

Cheers,

Brilliant.

I read an article in Forbes this morning about EMC's attempt to battle 'the Cloud'. The author made a reference to 'the Cloud' being the death of SAP, with no support or reinforcement of the argument or any further comment about SAP at all. It was as if he didn't understand it himself.

haha!

"The Cloud" - it's an entity now?

Like "the Dark Force" or "the Knack"?
