AJAX helps with state, but is not really local, given that huge amounts of code
need to be downloaded. I read recently something about MS scaling back the new
AJAX-based redo of Hotmail, because it was too slow for dialup modem users, due
to the size of the code. A EuphoRIA program wouldn't have that problem, because
all of the code would reside in the server. Also, DHTML and Javascript are poor
substitutes for a real, fast language like Euphoria, and their use tends to break
browsers by pushing the envelope of what's possible too far. Finally most of the
time, the user would be on the same machine as the EuphoRIA server, thereby
experiencing a fast response with anything that didn't require access to the
Internet, such as when the EuphoRIA server is acting as a word processor.
