You're right. There's not any chance. I like that proverb!
I predict that Google has a goal of making this browser bootable. In
their modern-day-green-screen world, all one needs is a dumb terminal
with a browser. And so the cycle continues.... Dumb client + smart
server, smart client + smart server, smart client + dumb server, repeat,
repeat, repeat...

That's a nice thought and I second it, but as all utopian things, it's
never

You know how the proverb goes; the good thing about standards is that
there are
so many to chose from... 8-)
