I prefer any information of interest to me to be stored on
my computer and not some central storage outside my control.
The advantage of individual storage is that not all the
eggs are in one basket in the event of a major crash, virus infections etc at
central storage.
I prefer individuality and self control and not being
dictated to by others. I have read recently where some organisations
are encouraging individuals to use their computers as terminals and store all
their personal information at a central location. In my opinion this is not
the way to proceed. Think of the disadvantages, NO CONTACT AVAILABLE
because of cable faults, crash at storage centre , maintainence, virus
infection etc
With your own storage you have immediate access at all
times without third party interference.
Some individuals would believe anything and follow like
sheep.

Postings, images and other "information" which are "Googleable"

There's only one advantage using those modern, advertisement
driven open systems. You always have to keep in mind:
"don't post when coming from pub."
So, please tell me what is "outdated" here?
What is outdated is the fact that to use your technique of finding
relevant contents,
one would be forced to store everything locally.... then
of course any decent tool
like Google Desktop can index and find what one
is interested in.
IMHO, it is much more intelligent and rationale to
have a central repository, where
everything is archived, instead of
duplicating on each user PC all the past messages of
the
group.
