I've never actually used Access, but I've seen it in the hands of other people being used to access (ha) real databases over SQL*Net (i.e. Oracle). I suspect therefore that it can actually be pointed at any kind of ODBC source, so you could easily enough store the data somewhere safe in Postgres and still give users the whizzy gui thing that they're used to.

This is still not my diary. This is.

dwmw2: http://www.angryflower.com/itsits.gif makes the point quite effectively. But no, I think it's always been like this and you're just noticing it more.

Ever wondered what a hypertext shell/programming environment might look like?

Some of us know already. Some people were even using them twenty years ago. Rainer Joswig has Quicktime movies showing how development on a Symbolics lisp machine used to work.

dyork: on the subject of Python vs Scheme, you may want to look at http://www.norvig.com/python-lisp.html as well. "Python can be seen as either a practical (better libraries) version of Scheme, or as a cleaned-up (no $@&%) version of Perl"

apenwarr: huh? Some of those items, I grant, you wouldn't care about unless you were really into DOMination, but popup blocking? password management? Don't tell me the average web user doesn't want these features. Maybe Aunt Tillie doesn't need them for her first hour on the web, but after the end of the first fortnight she'll be welcoming them with open arms.
