    Sounds like they are channeling AOL from 1994. It's somewhat like an intranet without the intranet.

    I may try it but I wonder how secure it is?

    its nothing but a huge flash-base glitter-girl-designed thing.
    its neither "fast" - fullscreen flash with mass of aa isnt working well on my Athlon2400+ - isnt "rocketmashine" - but damn, its browser-based thing?

    i gona test what happens if i open ghost inside ghost - as it has an inside browser too.
    btw - cant login atm^^

    I have a friend that can only get to a handful of sites from work. I tried it out to see if I could use their web browser like a proxy. I wasn't able to get a single page to load though. Everything else seemed responsive, and it seemed decent enough.

    @bleicher: the window scales down nicely. It opened fullscreen, but I just moved it to a new tab inside Chrome. That made it run a lot smoother for me.

    i cant even register. i keep getting an "unknown errors in registration process" message using various user name and password combos. Is it even worth the time?

    WOW, these guys are really making a great job. Really amazing… Having 5GB of file storage in the world and 3GB of emails and Web apps accessible from any browser (http://g.ho.st)and all for FREE!!!!

    I can upload and download my files (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music,…) to my G.ho.st Virtual Computer drive. I can also edit my pictures and document and listen to my music within one web based page. I don’t have to think about backups and installation any more.

    Even I can access my virtual computer from any mobile browser (http://g.ho.st/m).

    Very interesting concept. I can work from home with my PC, from my Work with the work PC and now every computer in the world is mine. No matter is it is Linus, windows or even Mac just put my username and password and I will continue from the last last i log off.
    I found this Video in You tube, Check it!!!!
