​it's funny how this mention of the cloud every year has become
​"compatible" with the population
You could say it makes us yearn for those days of getting the urge to
dial-up remotely into Time-sharing systems,
oh wait.....
but then everything is so much faster, and faster now....why don't we just
save it all ONE computer
....One Computer -~-~-~-~-> The Cloud........
oh golly gee, but then whenever "The Cloud" has a <software> glitch,
suddenly, there is no connection, NO CARRIER,
everyone would succumb to a enormous Brain FART
the simultaneous eruption in the population of a Brain Fart has never been
computed
and that would go down in the Guinness Book of World Records
