@beto I do not understand why the IT industry doesn't work like the plumbing, or electrical, or whatever, industry. You have a server sitting in a cupboard, or in your attic, or wherever. When something goes wrong you can call any one of dozens of local businesses to fix it. It plugs into municipal infrastructure.

The IT state of the art is basically Word Perfect, Lotus 1-2-3, and AOL, but with advertising, surveillance, censorship, and your data held hostage on the mainframe (or "cloud").
