The Cloud
"The Cloud" is all over the news these days. What is it? Will it tear my roof off? What's the big deal?I know you all have heard these reports that Amazon, Google & now Apple have their own "Clouds". What a cloud is represents a new way to store your music, photos, books and movies online at one of the growing list of cloud sites. I got involved with the Amazon Cloud because I buy all my books & music from Amazon.com. They give you a generous bit of storage space to upload your present collection of music. They won't charge you for loading new purchases from them and if you choose, automatically store them to your cloud account. They provide free Cloud Player software that lets you download anything from your cloud collection to any computer on the internet.
I initially uploaded over 1800 songs and have added a couple of hundred more since I began my involvement with cloud technology. The biggest advantage to using cloud storage is security. Once uploaded you never need worry about a disaster destroying your collection of unreplaceable treasures. I keep all my ebooks, music, photos and movies online now, for free.

These are all originals taken by me. Help yourself. When I die I'm not worried about what I leave behind.
