Chris,

> I think the trend is in the direction of web apps and online storage, though. I belive there may be a tipping point in the future where having applications and storage online will be safer and cheaper than having it locally.

There’s probably more money to be made, too, in encouraging online access to software and storage. So it’s back to dumb terminals, and being at the mercy of remote and authoritarian IT providers. I seem to remember having been there before - in the 1970-80s. Just joking, of course :-)
