I've just discovered Jabber (XMPP). Which inspired one thought ...
Sun Inc use the strap line; "The network is the Computer". True enough.
If Jabber had a strap line, it would be "The Conversation is the Computation". Which paradigm makes soluble a lot of otherwise intractable problems; e.g. the need for GUI goodness. GUIs, afterall, are mere frozen conversations.
