You still have to worry about that though. What if process X crashes? What if the data centre fails.

<br>It just encourages people to be complacent because it becomes someone elses problem and because since they're paying for it to be managed for them they're assuming nothing can go wrong.<br><br>-Steve<br><br><br>
