I wish I could take some of that credit, but I just recently joined Mozy, but I'll pass the commendations along to my many colleagues who made Mozy what it is today. Nevertheless, I joined Mozy to help with something in which you might be interested--personal cloud storage. I talk a bit about it here: http://reverendted.wordpress.com/2009/10/06/my-next-gig-in-the-cloud-this-time-its-personal Again, thanks for the clarification. --Ted Alex:

I love Mozy! I tweet about it, use it, and reccomend it. My point was that people are becoming more comfortable with the general concept of data online. Whether it is for backup or just general storage was not important. By the way Ted, thanks for the great work with Mozy! I think I phrased it poorly, Ted. I love Mozy!

By the way Ted, thanks for the great work with Mozy!

I work for Mozy, and I am curious about this statement. Mozy does backup of local information to the cloud, and stores that information so that you can recover data that you accidentally delete locally (even previous versions). That should *increase* comfort level, but that's not the context of your article. So, what do you mean? --Ted “Software solutions such as Mozy have been pushing the comfort envelope for file storage online.”

Sorry if I offended you. I will say that it is possibly the idea behind Wave is to replace not only Docs but also gMail and Google Chat when people are collaborating on a document. That said, I dont think gMail and Docs will ever be replaced with Wave because there is still that open ended 20% (as you said you have used Wave for only 80% of what you used Docs for). Again, sorry if I offended you a few minutes ago. Your right Alex, I am in the wrong. Sorry if I offended you.
