I don't follow your technical explanation here

What I believe I saw was a demonstration where local PC storage on a local harddrive could be defined as an internet drive.

Anything put THERE by a PC program was then "auto-copied" to internet attached storage. That storage was then accessible from any computer connected tothe internet to the rightful owner. The owner has a Just-On account. If the owner accessed the file over the internet at another machine the files would be available from internet attached storage to download. If the owner defined an internet drive on his/her second machine it would synchronize with his first machine and the latest version would be there on his internet drive on his second machine.

Presumeably I could write a file to a drive (eg. Internet1:) with my wordprocessor on one machine. Go to a second machine, log on to the internet and access the same file from the drive (labelled Internet1:) on the new machine.

Juston would keep up with synchronization and versions. If I downloaded the file to another non Internet1 labeled drive on somebody else's machine that I had access to the internet from, the synchronization would not be maintained. IT would be like copying the last version put into cyberspace of the file onto someone else's floppy/machine.

I just saw one demo and I'm not going to trust my memory on what I saw. This is what I think I saw.

That is why I wanted to confirm my impression with the Just-On people before writing to the WSJ.
