Can offline web apps be a replacement for desktop apps?

I don't see the distinction between a tablet and a laptop. The decision to build an off line web application should be no different regardless of the medium.

The main different is the inking (gesture) support.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
