30 Days With the Cloud: Day 3I’m a writer. It makes sense, then, that finding a cloud-based tool to substitute for my trusty Microsoft Word is priority one on this “30 Days With the Cloud” journey.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a press and analyst day with the good folks from Spectra Logic, where the state of the market for tape storage finally sunk in. While most corporate users have evolved their backup processes to reduce, or eliminate, their reliance on tape, users with lots of data still find tape to be the best solution. F. Scott Fitzgerald once said “The rich are different” and that’s true for those that are rich in data as well.

The first step in spending 30 days relying on cloud-based tools and services is to explore my options and choose the ones I want to use to work and live online.

Actually, I planned to start there, but I ran into a little hiccup–my PC won’t cooperate.
