The Internet is changing at a tremendous speed. The way people use the Internet is changing. And the technologies involved in the Internet keep morphing over time.

Consider digital memory, and how it's changes in the last few years. I remember a trip I took to DC with a group of Veterans a decade ago. I had the latest digital camera. It wrote straight to a three inch disk. We went to the Vietnam War Memorial and i took pictures at sunrise. I carried a container around that had forty or so of those disks. And I ran out of memory space to write to well before I stopped wanting to take pictures. My next camera wrote to CD's and held the data that 300 or so of those disks would have held. I now have a camera that writes to a 2 gigabyte memory card (1700 or so of those 3 inch disks) and my memory card is the size of a postage stamp.

Email has changed almost as much. We used to download our emails to a Pop3 program and, well, there it was - on our computer. That was really nice (when we had our computer with us). But slowing the world of email is moving to the cloud. And exchange hosting is part of that move. You need to consider it. It's part of the future...
