online applications

How timely! Yesterday I was channel surfing, and I came across some talk show and this guest was chatting up his book about why online spreadsheets and documents are not a very good idea. Unfortunately, I didn't get the man's name or book title, but I did listen to him for a while, and he was very interesting. His deal was that while this is a convienient way to share info, it isn't very safe. He went on to talk about how there are people out there in the cyberworld who would like to bring places of business down, or stealing money, identity, etc etc by hacking into "safe" (you know, password protected, invite only)places and implanting little virus BOTS, which can lay around doing nothing til they get the command....they can do all sorts of things from deleting numbers out of spreadsheet budgets, to crashing hard drives. So, for online applications, it's easy, and it's convienient, but do I really want my spreadsheets and documents in a public domain? My answer is no. No way, nada, uhuh, Nope. That's my buzz, back to bizz
