>>> I continually hear the argument that the bulk of consumer storage will migrate to some vast storage vault using the Internet as bandwidth breakthroughs occur. I can see some of that but I'm one who needs to have my "stuff" close to me. <<<
La Traguhs, I felt the same way at first, however I'm beginning to warm up to the idea, (assuming those bandwidth breakthroughs do occur).
There's already plenty of my most sensitive "stuff", including: tax records, social security info, DMV report, medical files, insurance records, investment portfolio, retirement program, credit report and bank accounts that are all currently maintained on computers that are not close to me.
Perhaps it's just a matter of getting used to. If we were to be convinced that the personal files we maintain on our PCs would be private, safe and secure at a remote storage location, we might begin to accept the idea as one that is similar to the many that already exist in our lives.
