How fast is the world of technology changing? I used to save files on a three-inch disk. If the files were too big I had to save them on a CD. Then one day along came the USB flash drive. My first one cost me $80. It was a 1 gig drive and it held the data from almost 900 of those three-inch disks. Now I walk around with a dozen flash drives in my briefcase - some as big as 8 gigs (which would be more than five thousand of those old three-inch disks). And I can't remember the last time I thought a CD was a useful tool.

Email has changed, too. The old Pop3 programs have become obsolete because we no longer want our email downloaded to a particular, stationary machine. We want to have access to it wherever we are, from any computer. Slowing the world of email is moving to the cloud. And exchange hosting is part of that move.

Using new technology tools (like the iPad) to access data and email in the cloud is the future of computing.
