The ResDirectory helps I guess and maybe the disconnection search is a bit useful but ya once I webalize the ResNet Control Center things will really be nice. It have been on my task list (albiet the one in my head) for a year or so now but there are so many projects for other areas that take precedence that I'm not sure when I'll be able to get to it.

Companies like Google are betting on it. Online word processing, spreadsheets, it's all coming up faster than we think. It's exciting in a way, especially now that the Internet is so fast. We don't need to install any software on our machines to gain new functionality, and all our data can be stored in one centralized location somewhere. You're doing a great job with all the web applications for UW, and I think the next step would be to take all of Peter's Access-based applications (Front Desk Assistant, ResNet Control Center) and make them all web-based. You could do it. Sure, we had a bit of trouble initially with the new web-based RMS, but think of all the trouble it's saving us in not having to install weird versions of Access, set up databases and all sorts of weird stuff. The web is where it's at, and you're in a perfect position to take it on. Keep it up. You’re absolutely correct in saying that web applications are the future.
