A whole generation of PC/ Mac users have more or less educated themselves mostly on operating systems and programs supplied by two companies. The subsequent online revolution and the battles in between amongst the old guard and new pretenders are merely foreplay to an opportunity for people to connect personally and professionally in one place and all on a hosted basis without the need for millions of tons of future landfill waste.
