Re: KISS

There seems to be a trend right now where people will give up any long term advantages in return for saving a few quick pennies by using cloud services1. Yes, cloud services do have advantages. But nobody seems to be thinking twice about the advantage of having your *own* hardware and software in house - with full control over it2.

Obviously, you are someone who has been around this block at least once.

1Typified by the ignorant bean counter damagement mentality.

2 Owning your OWN hardware and having under YOUR control means that YOU KNOW who has access to that equipment and data. In light of the recent NSA spying revelations, would it not be prudent to know who can examine your data. If those 3 letter agencies have to enter your property to "see" your data; then you know that they are looking at you.
