>I'd also like to point out that "web based" is not the regular option for most small/medium sized businesses. Sure, some do exist only because of the web, selling products of one kind or another ONLY through the web, but that still leaves hundreds of thousands of other businesses operating with face-to-face customer interaction. Those may one day exploit the web too, but my guess is that it will be when web applications have progressed far beyond the limited capabilities (and inherent dangers) that are present today in that architecture.


i know lots of small businesses that have database dynamic apps on the web.
many of these companies have less than 30 employees....
nuttin exotic about 'web based'.
