Here's one explanation, but basically it's just the idea of storing data and accessing applications from the internet - like Google docs, gmail, or whatever. My simple understanding tends also to analogize to old fashioned mainframe/terminal setups.

I'm trying to remember BD2 and if I"m right every FB's breasts looked the same as the next, at IIRC.

maybe we should double check again somehow?

I've had to look at a lot of ASP arrangements over the last few years, and they can be great for saving space in the server rooms, not having to worry about hardware, having an extra person or two on staff to maintain the application AND the data, etc. The question is always "how secure is this?" So far, we haven't had any major problems with the applications that are offsite in terms of data security and integrity.

It's the CBS approach to Charlie Sheen - he's always shown up to work knowing his lines (pun intended), regardless of what he does in his personal time.

You really can't post something like that and not post pictures. It's just bad form, really.
