Online site for cataloging books, movies and music
wrote in message oups.com... Hello Michael, I used the wording like that to get an unbiased opinion on a website that i put lot of effort on making. If I tell the group that I did it most people wont look at it. I am not charging anyone anything. I just wanted to know how people think about my work. Thanks and Regards Rana Basheer Mohammed Bas ) 8002 Halsey Street Lenexa, KS 66215 US 816-838-8768 |

"angelrachel" wrote in message ps.com... That site looks really good If you were a regular reader of this Newsgroup you'd realise that proposers of online book catalogues pester this Newsgroup for comments on their "free" facilities which in reality are commercial propositions. They do this because Usenet is free, Webspace is now becoming cheaper and because they're sufficiently stupid and ill informed ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ not to know that schemes for online storage have been in existence ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the past fifteen years. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All such schemes, even those with large financial resources behind them, have been an abject failure. This a a Book Collecting NewsGroup not a sounding board for clapped out projects based on secondhand ideas which are fifteen years behind the times. This is the opininion of the much respected Robert X. Cringely on online strorage. [...] quote AUGUST 29, 2002 If I was writing this column two years ago, I might be covering the whole ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ area of Internet data storage, for that was at a time when you could get ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ free data storage on web sites - a business that has pretty much gone away. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [ Two years ago. Penny dropped yet, has it ? ] And what's interesting is not that those businesses existed, but what lessons they taught us through their departure. If you hand over your data ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ to some third party, what happens when they go out of business or change ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ their policies such that the erotic e-mail you were saving to savor in your golden years is suddenly gone? Even mighty Microsoft has been whittling down the storage for its Hotmail users. They recently eliminated long term storage of read mail for certain users, making the mistake of implementing the change - erasing the messages - before announcing that they were going to do so. Can you trust a third party to reliably hold your data? I don't, and I don't ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^ think you should, either. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ And this leads us, thankfully, to an area where I think there is considerable room for growth - personal private and mobile data storage. Why shouldn't we be able to take with us all the data we really value?I think the data we really value is a small subset of the data stored in our PCs. I was amazed to learn, for example, that user data typically comprises less than 10 percent of the data on most PC hard drives. The rest is application and system code. Think about it. You have a dozen or more applications and probably the installer for each on your system, yet how many letters or reports have you actually done with that word processor, and what are the total storage requirements for all those spreadsheets for your failed Internet startups? It is a lot less than you think. /quote http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20020829.html Anyone who'd like to discuss this matter with the OP, can contact them at Mohammed Bas ) 8002 Halsey Street Lenexa, KS 66215 US 816-838-8768 michael adams |
