And someone needs to change this, somehow.  There has got to be some way to
push a small web appserver and app down to a client to let the user work
disconnected, then let the user synchronize when they have a connection to
the network.  I bet some brilliant person on this list has already worked
this out.

I know Lotus was trying to do something like this with iNotes, but my users
hated the iNotes mail interface and we quit playing with it.
