The Republicans have moved consistently in the direction of bigger government and more regulation that it is difficult for me to distinguish them in practical terms from Democrats. I am afraid of what either candidate might do in office regarding regulation of the economy, increasing social programs, and restricting international trade. Bob Barr is the only candidate of a major party I know who is truly free trade and pro-economy. I just wish enough of us would reconsider traditional party allegiances to make a third party candidate viable!

For those that can follow along, I guess it reveals your age if you remember "Lotus 123" and "Wordperfect". I'm not using Chrome to post this reply though because I still like Firefox and all the addins but I do have a Chrome browser open for Google apps, gmail, analytics and adsense because it's just plain faster on that browser.

Maybe I'm old-school but the productivity hit in moving from Office 2007 to Google Apps is intolerable. I think we're still waiting on the killer app that shows everybody how to do it. I wouldn't be surprised to see it coming from Microsoft via the Silverlight framework. But who knows... there's still too many missing pieces to see where it will end up. It's been very frustrating during our FinFolio development, because there's so many different ways this could shake out. I still have a hard time seeing Google Apps getting any serious traction.
