L&P@CML: Web-based Apps

Long time (well, since fall of 2006, a whopping two years) user of web-based apps. In the past, I've advocated dumping Microsoft Office, with its licensing fees per computer, and advocated teaching our customers about web-based apps, touting the freedom from costs and licenses and from the desk-top. I've had some time to re-think this position, and suspect that too many people find MS Office too familiar and too necessary for work purposes to dump. Still, I find the web-based apps easy to use and convenient to access; they free one from the need for a flashdrive in many instances. The word processing and spread sheets are as easy and pretty much as powerful as MS Office. I enjoy using them.
