i fully understand your point aswell as atitude towards web apps. but mind two cases: first: (not particular google case) i came to a point where i simply can't avoid using javascript based web applications. i'm a librarian and i just HAVE to work on web based databases (vtls)- with ajax interfaces. you can call it foolishness, but there are points where you just can't choose for yourself. second: google tries to force people to use new standarts, and it's not cool. but functionality of gmail embeded chat has its advantage of being portable (including logs). again you can call it crap, but i find it usefull in many situations. i'll manage to upgrade ff in squeeze or force myself to use pidgin. but in my opion stable branch is a little bit to 'conservative' especially for persons like my wife, who is not interested all of the software intricacies (i know i should have installed her ubuntu insted of debian ;) ). cheers, /t -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
