Not only that, I don't have to worry about whether the tiny 900Mhz processor (under-clocked to 630Mhz) would be up to the task of running my apps. And best all all, because Firefox run in Linux, there is no compatibility issues.</p> <p>I use (obviously) use <a href="http://www.88miles.net" title="Simple Time Tracking">88 Miles</a> for my time tracking, <a href="http://www.saasu.com">Saasu.com</a> for accounts, <a href="app.google.com">Google Apps</a> for office facilities (although, I do admit, I'm still not on Gmail yet). For my RSS, <a href="http://www.newsgator.com">Newsgator </a> has a web version, and I can still get my <a href="http://www.twitter.com">Twitter</a> feed via their web interface.</p> <p>This, I think is the best example of why SaaS rocks. In less than 15 minutes, all of the software that I use everyday was ready and waiting for me.</p> Mon, 18 Feb 2008 18:35:00 +0900 urn:uuid:752026c2-e150-4d90-abf9-81b8c33f4e14 Myles Eftos http://blog.88miles.net/articles/2008/02/18/new-computer-saas-is-the-way-to-go Opinion saas asus eeepc 88miles
