One step further from the need for a hard drive

While I'm thrilled and have geeky fun playing with the online desktop apps like Zoho and such, I'm sceptical. Mainly because when I don't have web access, I can't do anything with them - and that's a problem, for me. I don't seem to be able to quite trust the idea of ubiquitous up time.

That being said, finding out that Google will now allow (some) users to play powerpoint presentations from their gmail accounts is pretty darn cool, too. Maybe if we put google in charge of the up time, I would have more faith...
