A ‘cloudy’ day

After getting my hands on this new HP netbook, I am already trying to find a way to migrate to the ‘cloud.’ With a desktop computer, a 15″ Dell Latitude, an HP netbook, and a home computer include 500 GB NAS drive, I have plenty of copies of my data. I have so many copies that I don’t know which one to use. I turn to the cloud, a virtual environment, using the web to store documents and work.
There is a big problem with this. Any know what that might be? Connectivity. Without internet access, I would be totally parallized. So I have now run into other areas for me to explore – VNCs, Remote Access, and the use of web based storage. I’m currently using Google Docs for presentations, spreadsheets, documents, (and now Forms too). Picasa stores my photos, my iPod stores my music (not cloud computing). So where do I go from here?
