That is a really great article.  Who is Jason Scott?  Seems like too
common a name to be able to Google.  Just an ordinary Netizen?  In fact,
that whole ascii.textfiles.com website seems really interesting, so
thanks very much for pointing me/us to it.

Definitive, indeed.  The idea of server-central computing is seductive
to me, but I like the idea of having a shell account somewhere, or a
thinclient on my desk, or whatever.  But given the realities of this
world I decided rather to build a fatty FreeNAS system at home and keep
it all in house.  I still do periodic backups to CD too, just in case.
