[vcf-midatlantic] OT: modern cloud services

[David Riley]

Strong agree. Cloud computing is a *real* thing that has strong similarities *and* differences from traditional server methodology, as well as significant benefits and drawbacks. Anyone who touts it as either a universal evil or a panacea is vastly oversimplifying things, and is probably trying to sell you something.

I will be glad to discuss at Festivus, but this thread seems both off-topic and unnecessarily contentious for the list.
