"What NEED do these pieces of...software...fill?" A: Whatever you program it to do. It fills the need to run a function.;) That reasoning is in err; I could say, what need does the web fill? or any software? So does this make sense: Since NetPositive on BeOS doesn't support javascript, we should never use javascript?

Citibank.com Couldn't do my online banking without it. And maybe if you wanted to take advantage of the W3C DOM1 CORE STANDARD! I suppose XML is out of the question too huh?
Ah, the old "we'll never need more than 640K" argument.
I'm the opposite; you need to raise your technology minimum. I'll never design/develop for the lowest common denominator. It's a shame that you aren't really taking advantage technology.

You sound like that vincent flanders guy Explain to me how javascript is unnecessary, when it is the ONLY cross-browser/platform scripting language on the web.
And as for Flash, I'm sorry but I have created and seen plenty of navigation schemes that are more efficient than constantly sending http requests back to the server to get a bit more info on something. (and oh yeah it's included on all new browser installers and 90% of the browsers in use)
ps. who's going to McDonalds.com on a 28.8 or going there at all, really...

My father worked for a software company by the name of STI who were the sole contractor for the telemetery software on the Iridium project. They knew all along that it wasn't feasible, but the "ch-ching" ringing in their ears keep their opinions to themselves.... go figure...

oUch! Those were some pretty scathing comments by Gassée. Sounds like sour grapes to me though. He doesn't understand that MACOSX is still the winner in terms of important things like open-ness and support (hard and soft). Plus, Gassée is probably a lot more savvy then Jobs, wait til slashdotters get ahold of a MP G4 OSX box.

Power companies basically run on fossil fuels and nukes. So you have a 'puter that essentially runs on coal.
So in businesses that run huge networks 24/7, the environmental benefit of being paperless is put into perspective.
