Cloud Computing offers the ability to access software or information that can be delivered on-demand, over the internet, without the need to store it locally. – MichalMarlatt

Ok...so I have set out looking for a viable option to increase amount of mobile technology for my school that I work for.  My initial thought was to continue buying laptops at a rate of 10 a year due to budget limitations.  Then I thought I could save a few dollars and use open source software to replace my current apps that I have to purchase and maintain.  That would allow me to purchase only a few more a year.  Finally, I came to the conclusion of expanding my current use of Cloud Applications and that opened up my options for mobile technology.  Now my students would not require a full on laptop.  They could manage with something less robust.  I researched quite a few mini laptops as well as netbooks.  Atlast I decided to demo the MSI Wind.  My goal is to use the Wind for 30 days as my main latop for work and then pass it on to a student.  I want to see if it can replace my current laptop and  student laptop, a MacBook.  This may be very difficult for my due to the fact that I love my MacBook.
