lol! or my AT&T phone/data connection for that matter

But Amazon's EC2 server arrangement seems pretty cool in theory-lots of backups/auto-rerouting/etc...but even a 99% uptime means at some point it won't be up.

My other concern is that Amazon has a LOT of experience in servers, and even they have hiccups. Apple's new iCloud is pretty new-and their MobileMe service didn't inspire a lot of confidence.
