But the boss still wanted the excellent user interfaces that he was used to – because our hero was good on the Mac and could make the screens look “pretty.” If possible – the boss wanted the impossible – make the application run on a desktop AND over the Web – “just in case.” Here’s the story of our intrepid hero and how he searched, and found, a way to meet all the “Dilbert boss-li
