Hello, Martin.

Yes, in principle, and as long as you can afford to download your work 
because Amazon make their money by charging much more to retrieve data 
than they do to store it...

Seriously, though, I'm setting up Eucalyptus at RINH to try out the AMI 
that Tim et al. are working on with the JVCI. I think 'private' clouds 
compatible with EC2/S3 etc. are the way forward. The economics of using 
AWS does make sense if you almost never use a computer, but the more you 
use a computer the less economic it is to rent a share of one from Amazon.

Eucalyptus is well supported by Ubuntu server edition:

I'd be interested to hear from anyone else doing this sort of thing?

Bye,

   Tony.
