Several years ago a friend was really excited about being able to do processing on-line. Don't think he understands when the processing is done on big files and produces big files you have to get the files there and back.

Nephew runs his classic car parts manufacturing business with on-line processing and data storage instead of on-site like the company I work for. He claims it is much faster and more real time. The only network traffic to-from the host is only the review/input/output screens and reports. Instead of having a whole IT team he just has two guys and says they work from home like me unless there is problem with a user's computer or the network they can't fix remotely. Says he very rarely sees them.
