I am writing this blog, sitting in the kitchen at my son’s home in Brussels where my wife and I are visiting for the weekend. As usual when I travel abroad, I have my trusted Iphone – wouldn’t go anywhere without that – and my acer net book.

It occurs to me as I type this, that all of my PC content is now stored in the Cloud and that everything I need to access is readily available irrespective of what computer I use. What’s more, I think that most of what I need to look at at any one time can be viewed on my Iphone – and no doubt the Ipad when I get it – which makes obsolete the requirement to lug around loads of equipment.

It is the way of the future no doubt.
