Consolidation of power/authority is what (((they))) like, makes everything so much easier to infiltrate and control.
I never wanted anything to do with my personal stuff going on the cloud for this reason.

You don't have to put things on the cloud for the cloud to affect you. This is one such case. Internet services are embedded in everything now and there is little escape.
True, but I meant storage of my personal files/pics/programs. A big part of the reason I still have my old Gateway - all of my purchased software is loaded on it. Newer systems rely on cloud based software services and in many cases the last I checked, the end user can no longer buy/own the executables and store them on their local systems. My system is stand-alone and essentially pre-cloud. I use the kindle for web browsing so my old Gateway Desktop essentially only handles business email, business letters, excel spreadsheets, some powerpoint based promotional stuff, a few old MS Project files of my past endeavors, etc.
