yup, thats whats wrong with the "network" computer - too much
responsilibility is put on one thing. Always distrusted putting my
information assets on google; yeah sure I'll put my mission critical stuff
there so long as you have the cheque ready when you lose my stuff, Mr
Google. and anyway, its a free service so its just like what they say about
free advice - its worth what you pay for it. so since its worthless I dont
have anything of value stored on it.

I just about trust gmail for my Email but essays, assessed stuff, crucial
documents? forget it - all that stuff google is just nicey-nicey stuff to
make them look like a caring organisation and seem like they are *more* than
just search.

this sort of mess up is kindof what I expected and not really surprised -
amazed it hasnt already happened. will any one at google get fired for
it? user data is hardly that important to them - its just that - data - , so
no  - its just a marketing gimmick - a proof of concept, which, once the
no-cost user testing phase has completed (obviously a little left to go
HAHAHA) it will retail at the appropriate rate per quarter.

 "dont be evil?" - what a gas ....
