No, more like "everyday computing for a majority of white-collar office 
workers 10+ years ago."

Because, you know, nobody nowadays uses shared calendars, 
SalesForce.com, or Microsoft Exchange. Virtual no business serves 
dynamic web pages based on a database. Indeed, most businesses don't 
even have inventory or personnel records in a computerized database at 
all. Nobody would *conceive* of actually having all their customers, 
sales, and scheduled deliveries in electronic format, and it's 
mind-boggling science fiction to think maybe such a database would be 
shared between employees. And banks will never get to the point where 
you could use computers to reconcile your accounting with theirs...

A deeply stupid comparison indeed.
