"Excellent post re the bandwidth (and the RAM) limiting our move to the cloud.
Perhaps I'm a Luddite, but another issue is portability; tangible solutions such as CDs and DVDs are actually more portable than cloud-based services. I still tend to buy CDs rather than download music, especially since the last time I downloaded music, it was from MSN Music (which no longer exists). Perhaps the technical rules are changing, but if you're dependent upon a service to house your data, you have to deal with the risk of the service disappearing one day."
