Now, there is a possible danger there. The danger doesn't come from things like Google. The danger comes from things like Hotmail. When people start using a server on the net to store their data and to do the jobs that they really could be doing on their own computer, that introduces a danger. I've never understood the people who said that thin clients were the future, because I can't imagine why I would ever do things that way. I've got a PC and it's capable of doing things like running a mail reader; I'm going to have the mail on my own computer, I'm not going to leave it on anybody's server. Especially not a server I have no reason to trust. And these days, of course, if you allow your personal data to be on somebody's server, you might as well be handing it straight to Ashcroft and his gestapo.
