I would be interested to know how one connects to their "cloud"?  Do I
need an "Evaporation Adapter" for my computer to send to their cloud?
And do I need a "Rain Collector" to receive from it?  I suppose I also
need the computer to be outside exposed to the elements -- putting it
under a brolly would interfere with incoming rain from the cloud ...
Plus I suppose it would not work very well at all in the desert, but
downloading would be very high bandwidth in the rainforest (or during
monsoon season).
