How can I turn off iCloud completely?

Hello guys,

configuration: MacBook Pro with current Lion, iPad and iPhone both with iOS 4, NOT using iCloud.

I switched ON iCloud on my MacBook Pro to see what happens. Then I tried to switch it off again since I decided that I don't want the system to push everything I do on my computer up into the iCloud, congesting my network.

Now when I tried to turn off iCloud for my Documents and Data, it says that all data stored in the iCloud would be deleted from my Mac. ****, what's that? Will I now never again be able to detatch my computer from this iCloud thing without losing all my files?

Please help!

Many thanx in advance

When you tried to switch it off was there a password request?
