he scenario: Grab your laptop and “stuff” then
rush to the airport. After arriving you quickly
search for a place to park that’s close to where
you catch a shuttle to the terminal. If you’re traveling
with carry-on, you can shave off some minutes by
checking in at the gate. But you still need to get through
security—and the scrutiny of those people checking
IDs. (“I hope I’m not wearing socks with a hole.”)

Then you hover around the gate
until your group is called, only to
join the cattle call that gets you
to your seat. Stash your stuff then
grab your seat to get out of the
way of people anxiously waiting
behind you. If you’re not stressed
after that, what’s your secret?
Then it happens within a
few minutes—the peace that
comes with flying. No driving,
no customer demands, no
stresses. It’s your magical time
in the heavens. In this issue of
TechConnect we take you into
a different type of “cloud.” If
you don’t know the term “cloud
computing,” you will.
In simplest terms it’s letting
the Web be your gateway
to your business tools. No
software, no becoming your
own IT person and, more and
more, no downtime. Except for
your monitor and keyboard,
everything is in the “cloud,” a
place you never see but it’s there
ready to meet your needs.
