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..  Pet peeve..
