Would be "so" useful if... I don't know, I was some place where there 
wasn't any internet, or FSM forbid, the "bug" caused loss of access to 
that, now wouldn't it. MS' recent foray into "cloud computing" stuff 
makes me laugh for do to that. ISP can't keep me live reliably 100% of 
the time (and I really doubt anyone else is *guaranteed* service either, 
but I am supposed to rely on someone else's servers to "run" 
applications I need... Might as well got back to horse and buggy and 
"rent" someone else's horses to pull you around, while hoping the local 
farm's pasture fence doesn't break 5 minutes before I need to go some 
place, letting all the horses escape...

Web pages like that are worthless, if you can't get to them. Its the 
same reason that, despite pages of documentation on the Windows API, 
people thought writing API-Guide was a good idea. Looking something up 
"locally", on software you actually have installed "works", unless its 
the software that is broken. Looking it up on a web page you have at 
least 5-6 points of failure on "your" end, plus another 5+, to as much, 
in the worst case, of possibly a total of 30, or more, points of 
failure, to get to that web page. Just plain logic demands that its 
"not" as good as having something "in hand".
