And so we come full circle. The reason so many Apple ][ computers were snuck into offices around the USA 40 years ago is because the Almighty Mainframe, the central point of computing, was not up to the job that could be done quickly with a "Visicalc computer". The idea behind the Microcomputer Revolution was to decentralize, so that a mainframe outage didn't stop people from working.
Who says the pendulum doesn't swing back and forth?

I have 3 email accounts forwarding to my MS365 account. I don’t see any service interruption. Only problem I has with the service is that it didn’t pickup mail from remote accounts reliably. Never could get to the bottom of that, so I had each of the other accounts ‘Push’ the mail over to MS365 instead. Works better that way.

The Cloud is a very bad idea.

I remember back in the old days, discoveries of problems in MSFT software would cause the stock price to go up, because they believed in the saying, “never let a crisis go to waste.”

Does anyone remember the stupid Microsoft "To the cloud" commercials from about a year ago? They gave two examples of "using the cloud": editing together local photographs to make a good family photo and watching videos stored on your home DVR from an airport. The problem is that neither one of those had anything to do with cloud computing - both used files stored on your own computer to either edit or view. And only one used networking at all.
My friends and I laughed derisively at Microsoft for not having the slightest idea of what they were advertising.

Apparently, it’s more like “Office 364”
