Dreamcard Roadster in the future???

All of this is likely true, but there are educational markets (higher  
ed, adult distance learning, etc.) where the "panacea" of web based  
course materials is still in vogue and where it might actually work.

Mind you, like everyone on this list (I suspect), I'm well aware of  
the limitations of web delivery.  But the people above me who make  
the decisions--the folks who are, frankly, only marginally computer  
literate--still see it as a panacea. Some of them are "educable,"   
i.e. can be convinced of the reasons why truly interactive apps are  
better developed as standalone apps, but many may never see the light.
