lol. Welcome to the internet, home to hords of people suffering from attention deficient...ooo, shiny!
But yeah, I agree with allnameswereout, local free wifi is just as much a part of the whole cloud thing as anything else is. The idea behind cloud computing is being able to go anywhere and still access your stuff regardless what internet service you login to, be it at McD's or some mom and pop store.
Case in point, I was going to class last night and realized I had forgotten to bring along my powerpoint presentation for class. Well, since my home mail account syncs to my Gmail account, I simply logged into Gmail, opened the email I had been sent with the presentation, and then downloaded the presentation to the desktop. That right there is a perfect example of where cloud computing comes in handy. And I was able to do it right from school.
