Computing in the 'Cloud'

In technical circles, the Internet has always been referred to as 'the cloud' and as more valuable Internet resources come on line, more of us will engage in 'cloud computing'.

If you use webmail (like Gmail or Yahoo Mail), online tax preperation software, online accounting programs or manage your business contacts via a web-based service, you are part of the cloud computing masses.

Listen in as the Data Doctors discuss the pros and cons of cloud computing and how to evaluate whether your next application should reside on your own computer or in the cloud!

Join us every Saturday from 12:00–2:00PM on FM News/Talk 92.3 as we discuss your computer questions at: 602.277.5827 or e-mail your questions during (or before) the broadcast using the ask a question page.
