First was my recent hardware issues, for a while I thought about scrapping my desktop and only being left with my laptop. I would also like to make the desktop into a media PC and could use its disk space. There are several gigs of backups on it that could be better used for a hard disk recorder. This would make my laptop the only copy of my data, I am not comfortable with this, a laptop is fragile and prone to theft. If I was to make it my only PC I’d need proper backups. Now there's a viable place to backup things offsite. Why am I thinking about remote backups again?

I, too, am a believer that more bandwidth will be required from the subscriber to the 'net but to date I have only listed: Residential microservers being more common. Examples of these are security devices, sensors, activators, and more traditional server functions that are being offered toward the Internet. Video attachments in email. Complex gaming systems and games that host thousands of players. Micro video magazines being authored from the home. The 1000Mbps vs 100 Mbps Actiuve Star Ethernet is intriguing not only from the bandwidth perspective but also from the interface latency perspective. Its seems to me that hardcore games would simply devour the service since it gives them a significant speed advantage. Ron, thanks and good luck with your blog. -Buck Remote backup is an application that I really hadnt considered but is absolutely on the money.
