It would be nice if this very fancy WYSYWIG AJAX XML HTML blogging site worked properly with Opera. It seems to insert non-breaking spaces instead of spaces. Hmm.
Still, it's a lot easier to load Mozilla than it is to write in HTML.
And it's quite amazing what you can do on the browser nowadays: email, word processing, spreadsheets, video, software programming, calendars, spell-check your blog postings.
It makes you wonder why you need user interface to the operating system at all - are we going to run a web-browser "full screen" instead of a window manager?
Think of the opportunities! Rather than execute "native" software on your own machine, you can execute software in the browser using interpreted languages that you can't prove properties of, on a virtual machine to emulate a computer, based on a widely-misinterpreted and varying system specification, relying on a fast and reliable network connection, executing in a secure environment that restricts what the software can actually do.
Still, it's all rather convenient.
