We are seeing a portion of it now, and will see much more, like JAVA based realtime quotes and other services on-line, but most software will be installed on the personal PC. And most new software I believe will be purchased via download. Any new software I purchase is always the downloaded version. The only time I buy a packaged version of software is if a downloaded version is not available.

It's not going to be very long that if the Internet goes down in a particular area that almost ALL businesses will be affected.

I had many problems yesterday connecting, and I need it for work, so it fricked up a portion of my day yesterday.
