One does not simply go Willy Nilly and start browsing "Cloud Sites" like a web site. I am sure that places like FaceBook, etc will adopt some form of cloud gateway. A secure login is all one needs to do secure online banking, so it should be good enough for this. Just remember that Willy Nilly is a No No.

Some early IDE drives were too slow to boot and locked up the motherboards. The same with a 16 bit MFM controller. I had to turn on every time wasting function in the BIOS in some computers, when replacing motherboards. In some cases, people had no choice but to replace their hard drive, too. Some 386 motherboards wouldn't work at full speed with a MFM drive. You had to set the CPU to the lowest speed the board supported to use MFM drives. -- Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge. |
