I think it's important whatever you use to have a backup of either. Given the issues we're having with internet access in South Africa now, I'm pleased I still use MS office and dreamweaver for some stuff and don't constantly have to log in to do the basics and run the business. I'm leaning towards desktop apps with online backups or website apps with desktop backups, if that makes sense!! Basically, I like to have backups whichever type I use.... Lea Hi Hugh

I'm curious, what are your thoughts on web applications vs desktop applications when there's no collaboration needed (like Backpackit). Sometimes desktop applications make sense because an internet connection isn't always available, but a web application means you won't lose your data if your laptop's hard drive fails.
