I'll turn that question around. Wouldn't it be nice, not to mention cost-effective, to be able to do an office job on a Raspberry Pi? Fifty to seventy bucks a head, all in, and you have a machine that was plenty fast enough 15 years ago. When you commit to giant apps, you commit to hardware that costs twenty to fifty times that amount. If you need more power, that's fine. But does an administrative assistant, or a lawyer, for that matter? Give me old-fashioned desktop applications, and I can compete with you at hundreds to thousands less per head. How many people doing that does it take to make a software engineer's time worth the trouble?
