Rick, thanks for your reply.

I know and have seen what Google Docs have done with it. However, I "still" don't see equality of the Internet, used wherever there is a computer. If there was the Internet EVERYWHERE, that may be possible. But we are still very far away from that.

Plus, when you're talking SaaS (software as a service) with six sigma (99.9999%) uptime, with a $10,000 loss if you go down, and your depending ALL this on a broadband service (and yes i undrestand if the internet tops off the software can keep running) - but how much functinality will it have? Do you really believe software can go "entirelY" online? Hmm.. there's just some things i dont think internet apps will be able to access, particularly when you're talking SPECIALIZED pos hardware.

having said that, the new google operating system may change everything (if it REALLY does get adopted).

but take a look at the iphone, try and use that offline, and u alrady sstart to see its flaws.
