Cloud computing allows you to store your information "out there" in addition to on your computer. And then you can link to this information.

Speaking, as we are about cloud computing, one of the greatest things in the world besides Vladimir is my Google account. With this one account I can do things like:
  • access free email
  • create a blog, or two, or seventeen
  • store photos
  • create a presentation
  • word processing
  • create mailing lists

So go get a Google account so we can talk more about computing in the cloud.
