    I dunno about the so-called "sky computing" revolution that everyone seems to be so happy about. Though it is headed up by Google, I am still very skeptical about the whole thing. I am all for open source applications. But, I think that they should still be client-side instead of server-side.

    The processing will still be client-side, just the application and data will be server-side. It some ways it makes more sense: no install, no worries about backups, no version upgrades. These are some of the biggest annoyances of owning a personal computer.
