Ugh, web apps... I was never very keen on that idea. Some things work great on the web, but a lot of things don't. Stuff that requires sequential operation, like adding stuff to a database, works pretty well. However, asynchronous activites, where random things happen in random intervals, don't quite fit the paradigm. Nobody's going to fly a plane with a web app (unless the plane is smart enough to fly itself) Bah..
