Thanks for all these. Yes RumRat you're probably right and I am paranoid, and I know that anything I start on my PC is probably sent around the world three times before I've finished it. I have nothing particularly secret, I just don't like the idea of my stuff being in a cloud!

Truth be told its in the cloud before you receive it .
User A posts you a message and it moves around the cloud before it gets to your ISP .

Problem is the word cloud as data has always been held on servers but by naming them the cloud it becomes different .

This post as the rest of the forum will be held in the cloud so as you can read it .

All web based email such a GMail has always had everything stored on the company in question's servers. That is how it works. It is nothing new.

So you have a fireproof and theftproof PC fitted with a special "never fail" hard drive?

You should market the technology, it sounds great.
