Doesn't work in a multi-user environment.  Other users may be humans, 
intelligent agents, whatever, hand-helds, pda's, network users.
This may seem like a far-fetched requirement at the moment, but
I don't think that coding "built-in obsolecense" (i.e. single-user 
traditional MS-style app) is any better.
