But WHY web-based?


Because the last spreadsheet I created was to compare the dimensions of the MP3 players I'm thinking of buying.

You're talking about work-related info. I'm talking about the fact that for personal purposes, I've only created about 4 Word documents in the last year. I can't fathom spending all that money on Office. Sure I could use something like AbiWord, but the convenience of having my file available to me from any computer (with internet) is appealing.

And Sein- I don't mind being internet dependant. My connection is pretty reliable, so if I don't have internet at home, I'm probably in the middle of a blackout. Oh, and high-speed wireless networks are becoming pretty common EVDO kicks GPRS's butt. Even so, I'm typing this all on my Treo 600, and despite being a little slower to type on, it's sufficient to browse the board. I think you're also forgetting about mobile versions of sites. I use mobile GMail all the time and it's excellent.
