Truth is, I am not real comfortable with the idea of online applications like word processing. Somehow it makes me feel like I'm back in the bad old days of the mainframe when the IT department dictated what we'd see and what we'd get and how we did our work. They never seemed to see things the same way as I did, and I fear the online apps will be much the same.

I know and fully admit that there should be no difference between what I think of as typically desktop apps online and what I see as web apps, but somehow... Oh, well, maybe I'm just getting old.
