They still make them - and until we can get browser-based applications approaching the richness and power of native desktop apps without ever more complex hoops requiring jumping through, I suppose we'll always have them. Until the desktop itself becomes a HTML client, anyway. > So, instead of locking down and maintaining one LAMP server, we're > trying to keep everyone's desktop up-to-date on node? I don't think so - it's just a command line terminal. On Windows it's a prettified wrapper for CMD.EXE, on Linux it's a prettified wrapper for Bash or whatever. Which you can extend using the npm package manager. It's nothing to do with the OS as a whole. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
