Have you seen a G.ho.st? No, not the backup/restore software. This is a
service from Ghost Inc that provides a web operating system to you from
a web browser. The category of service/software is called WebOS
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebOS> . The idea is that you can access
your virtual desktop from anywhere that can run a web browser.
Inside this environment you can run similar things to what you would
find in Windows. You can work with media like music, video, and office
documents. It looks very similar to the standard Windows layout but uses
web software instead. It is mostly based on Open Source modules.
Check it out at:

http://g.ho.st/

You'll get 5 gb of storage for your files. This could be a great service
to suggest to your patrons.
