Didn't millions of people do their tax returns online this past year?

Doing apps for the web is NOT like doing an app for the desktop and way too

many developers make the mistake thinking "its and app".

Then you are told to make it work on the phone. so you stuff all that crap

onto a smaller landscape because "its just an app".

Does anyone still have VCR buttons on their screens for next, previous,

search, edit, bla-bla-bla?

Our ERP system is 100% web and it is all data entry as well. There are

only 35,256 tables in this SQL Server database for the system. It keeps

250-400 users humming through the day no problem and everything is real

fast no matter where in the world you access it from.
