I remember the bad old days of the mainframe and I am not falling for the attempts to push the Genie back in the mainframe bottle. All this web app stuff is just about laying a trap for the dumb end user with bright trinkets. What the industry wants is to charge a passive user base up the butt in a pay for play scheme. IF users fall for this they deserve the screwing they get. Just say no to anything other people control: code, cable, phone you name it.
