"I remember when the internet first started: it
was heralded as the perfect system for it's
decentralization."
ah yes - those were the days . . .
Everybody would be peers, all computers would
be equals . . .
Now we're going back to centralization again.
Your computer is unimportant, their networks
are more important.
Basically a mainframe model, on a larger scale.
The more stuff changes, the more it remains the
same.
FileMaker is interesting - but way too
expensive for personal use.
Software that costs as much as a netbook? Is
that a joke?
