Oh, he may not, but I will... ;-) Wasn't this the topic of convo a couple of
weels ago? Adam, you're right on the money. There is both a tech win and a
business in what you've said. All it takes is somebody with the time and
resources...

Read "The Cluetrain Manifesto." Then ponder, deeply, the effects of "The
Curve" on business models. Free space isn't a loser, it's just aggressive.
Indeed, it may be the only survivable model in the storage space: remote,
redundant, reliable, available, and free. You can't put the toothpaste back in
the tube, bro.

I'll sell you that plan for a smallish sum. ;-) On the funding front: you
think a bubble burst is going to make funding *more* available to tech-savvy
but biz-light plays? D00d. Guess again. A lot of potential investment just
evaporated in the last two weeks. It's sad but true. Pray for a rebound.
None of us ever had it so good as earlier this year.
