The stockholders are proud;-) If you weren't just trolling and had bothered to read the whole thing you'd know there are *several* features, *most* of which have absolutely *nothing* to do with storing anything in the cloud. You'd also know the "Store in iCloud" feature is completely *optional* and is turned *off* by default, meaning it's an opt-in feature. Every Apple account gets 5 GB of *free* storage, which is plenty. Most people are happy using the free tier without paying a single dime to Apple. By all means troll on if it helps you feel better about yourself. Watching someone make a fool of themselves is certainly entertaining to those of us who know better. : ) -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.
