Are you serious? As a writer, I can tell you that I get all the best stuff written when I'm not on the network, in fact, I get my best stuff written when I sit under the trees in Hyde Park. I don't think we need web based word processing. I think web mail is pretty neat, and I think web based IM might have some usage, and even a web interface to my calendar that syncs from my desktop machine, but no, I'd like to keep my own mail and my own files on my own server (or a server of a trusted associate) wherever possible, thanks. matt -- Matt Lee CNUK Media Foundation - http://cnuk.org/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
