The idea of so-called "web applications" is a cerebral flatulance emanating from braindead morons (typically the pointy-haired type), sorry. >From the perspective of the domain specialist who needs to get some work done and who needs to get it done efficiently they are simply unusable. The "functionality" that such "web interfaces" provide is ridiculously poor, they are clumsy to use and even worse hourglass-display systems than the junk that MS or SAP sell. Besides the fact that they require obscene amounts of runtime ressources. Besides... Sorry, this subject isn't worth wasting my brain bandwidth on it. I have started to use computers with GEM on Atari ST, MacOS 6.0.7 and DOS 3.3, and if all those "web mailers" or "Google apps" had been the only applications available back then I would have never started to use computers at all. In short: "web applications" are in no way a solution to the mentioned problem, but they make this problem worse by piling up other problems on top of it. End of flame.
