The best interface ever designed for the web is the google 
page:  one box, two buttons, and a human knowledge of terms. 
It doesn't care if it is in a thick client or a thin client 
because its brains aren't owned by either.  Success varies by 
the owner who is as effective as they are smart.

Yeah, there is nothing like trading a sharecropper's shack for 
a teepee.  Manly stuff.  Freedom to roam, to hunt, to fight, 
to live a short and brutal life with ugly mates.

(who was raised within sight of real sharecropper's shacks 
and does know without a dictionary what they were but had to 
learn about teepees from movies, the same source any modern 
computer user should learn about either of them and HTML++ 
browsers)

will be a good chance to see if Tim's server can withstand the
/. effect.
