To Trakker and Jeffery:

Wouldn't "internet storage" fuel the desire for removable storage? From what I've read "internet storage" would take the place of operational software stored on PC's. If one wanted to work on a spreadsheet program then he/she would log onto the Lotus 123 site and manipulate or create a spreadsheet using the Lotus software on servers located at Lotus, instead of wasting space by installing Lotus on one's home PC. Upgrades would be instant and painless and the software choices would be limitless (except for $$). Iomega would be a great choice for the actual storage of one's work. Sounds like a great job for a "Jaz" type removable drive. I could manipulate my spreadsheets at work (with a custom sign on which would bring up my personalized style defaults etc.) on my PC using the Lotus website 123 software, save my files on my Jaz disk and take my Jaz disk anywhere and be able to work with my files with any PC with a Jaz and an internet connection, e.g. Home, school, notebook with cell modem, internet cafe, satellite office, mother-in-laws, etc. Wow, I like that idea. What do you think??
