What happens when GoogleDocs goes down? A good question.

All privacy concerns aside -- one of the problems with the whole "Software as a Service" angle is the non-proximity of the problem. If, like me you've been wondering what happens after 30 seconds lasts far longer than 30 seconds, it's an important reminder of the dangers of over-reliance on any one medium. Single points of failure suck -- it's a good thing I have local back-ups of all important GoogleDocs.
