BTW, why can't a browser window be pixel perfect?

What's "pixel perfect"? ---

The more interactive the web becomes, the more we see web applications mimicking desktop solutions,

On that we agree -- however, desktop solutions are being influenced by web and vice versa. This is a dynamic process where ideas, needs, and solutions merge and continue to change. But don't think that current desktop solutions are the end-all of all application development. I remember when DOS types claimed that using a mouse would never catch on. Everything is changing. ---

Regardless of whether you think the web should be used for these kinds of applications is irrelevant, because others do think it can and should be used in this way.

Nonsense. What he thinks, what I think, and what you think does influence change. You certainly don't have all the answers and neither do I, but our dialog, our practice, our methods, our post, do provide direction and example. What's the point of this dialog anyway -- to amuse ourselves? No offense, but I would rather be playing Ghost Recon than debating this issue with you. I do this because I believe that this is the "right" way to educate and to give back for those who helped, and continue to help, me. ---

Throwing cups of water back into the ocean to prevent the tide from coming in just doesn't work.

But, it sure helps to keep your boat afloat. :-) Besides, what tide are you talking about, the css tide? Everyday, via my attendance to the css-discuss list, I would estimate that there are more people coming on board the css boat than choosing tables.
