    Cloud computing has been talked about for years - long before Dell decided to get in on the act.

    It's the networking equivalent of "here be dragons" on a network map.

    Actually, it's supposed to - in the article engine, the URL tag opens links in the same window while the EURL tag opens in a new window (i.e. 'external URL'). The tag was broken because I'd missed off 'http://' from the start of the link, which the URL/EURL tags need.

    Anyway, 'tis fixed now.
