I don't think so
Wish they would come out with a turbo diesel electric hybrid. See they are not meeting what I want. What I was trying to tell you if the ISP offered 1000s of possibilities for all the needs out there, they would lose money trying.

With client server I would be connect to my own lan for in company files. The Wan is slower than a glacier. This would kill productivity. I want 1000 ether speeds everywhere. People like you must never seen hugh graphic files that must be loaded and saved instantly.

The Wan is a public network and will not meet the security of a Lan. Some operations require that security. I believe the Wan is good for lightweight, low security applications. The complete abolishment of the Lan will never happen.

What you just described in your last statement wasn't thought thru. If you can edit the files offline, then you do have the applications on those fatclients. Why bother saving offline. Do not see the money savings. Rental is super expensive.

Do you work for a think tank? These people do not predict the future. They try to coerce it like the AEI.

True, true ... but don't forget about ...  coffeenite | 06/17/05
No, data security will be the reason to use hosted applications.  DonnieBoy | 06/18/05

90 plus percent?  IT Scion | 06/17/05
You forget businesses also depend on ELECTRICITY.  DonnieBoy | 06/18/05
Does anyone practice common sense  xshakes | 06/17/05

Pipe Dream  John L. Ries | 06/17/05
Going back to the future? I don't think so  osreinstall | 06/17/05
I will bet on trusted centralized ISPs over individual companies.  DonnieBoy | 06/18/05
Yeah Sure  osreinstall | 06/18/05
Has the bank ever lost your money? Do you worry about electricity?  DonnieBoy | 06/18/05
Trust, but verify  osreinstall | 06/18/05
Electricity is reliable enough for 99.9% of applications.  DonnieBoy | 06/18/05
Not really  osreinstall | 06/18/05
Customers will store their data where it is safe, at a trusted ISP.  DonnieBoy | 06/18/05
The will resurrect the Studebaker too!  osreinstall | 06/18/05
A trusted ISP will not have all of your eggs in one basked.  DonnieBoy | 06/19/05
Not from my point of view  osreinstall | 06/19/05
ISPs that do not take care of your data will go out of business, FAST.  DonnieBoy | 06/19/05
They don't take care of the data now.  osreinstall | 06/19/05
No, centralized computing is on the rise. Have you used Webmail??  DonnieBoy | 06/18/05
A lot of really stupid, paranoid posts here.  DonnieBoy | 06/18/05
Of course we can do it better  osreinstall | 06/19/05
Wait, car designers have no idea what kind of car you want either.  DonnieBoy | 06/19/05
I don't think so  osreinstall | 06/19/05
I would prefer  Linux User 147560 | 06/20/05
I prefer to think that electricity will flow more like computing  MikeZD | 06/24/05
Many places it might fit, even for a small company.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 06/19/05
A foolish step to take - here's why  whisperycat | 06/20/05
