I really do feel and have for some time that we are only a few years away from all of our information being stored “online” if we choose and with the ability to access it almost anywhere. Things that are corporate will be able to be kept on corporate servers that allow users with the proper permission to be able to access them the same ubiquitous way. I don’t really see what would prevent that as it is being done already a lot of places with ssh, VPN and the like.

In any case, thanks for reading and you kind words.

Played around with Google Docs & Spreadsheet and it is fairly impressive. I have to admit I pulled in some fairly complex Excel spreedsheets and was very impressed.

There is a long running debate between myself and the VP of Technology in my firm about the future of online Office Suites. I think they’ll work, he thinks they won’t, at least not for the corporate user.

Just curious what you think …

BTW: I really enjoy your blog. You give me links to stuff I can’t seem to find else where.
