Re: [ossig] Quasar Accounting Software for Linux

surprisingly, web-based front end is actually faster.. for example, if I were
to enter a field to look for a customer, there are 10 thousand records, most
thick client app actually search for all records on each "key stroke", and if
the user were to use 6 characters to locate the record, 

1st key stroke 6000 records returned
2nd key stroke 2000 records returned
3rd key stroke 500 records
4th key stroke 100 records
5th key stroke 30 records
6th key stroke 5 records...

the overhead of transmitting these records over streamyx or broadband is still
pretty slow... web is still more practical for distributed type of
environment.. of course, if you are talking about having everything on LAN,
then thick client is more user friendly...

having said that, with the use of javascript (carefully designed for cross
browser compatibility), the web could be made more interactive :-)
