Not to mention the test jig that has to read every RAM address exactly 10.01 milliseconds after power-off, and the software that analyzes it to guarantee no discernible pattern remains. -- Wes Groleau Unusual ways of learning? http://Ideas.Lang-Learn.us/WWW?itemid=96

In other words, the damn lawyers decided everyhing stored in the cloud belongs to the cloud provider so they can delete it if somebody squawks. Perhaps more importantly, you also give up any and all copywrite to said data. Not only no, but hell no. Of course, it also means said cloud provider can also share your data if they want to... : : 2. Stuff that I do feel is important, I store on a different computer : Okay. So how do you protect said different computer? As some poster noted, truely secure systems aren't on the net, but they are in secured rooms, and anything that enters the room that isn't flesh or clothes stays in said room. At some point, you have to accept that your data is at risk, and accept said level of risk. Since you are talking WiFi on your dream laptop, I'd think you are already accepting a large element of risk, as everything you transmit to the local station is liable to interception. Perhaps not right then, but given time, about any data can be deciphered. Bruce -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I like bad!"
