There's a minor gap in this otherwise cogent analysis, and that's the advent of mature browsers and tools like PHP. Not to discount the case for green-screen interfaces, just to point out that it's not necessarily an either/or situation. I think, in theory, you should be able to create a text-only database application and wrap a browser interface around it. Just don't ask me how to do it. Mabuhay. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
