The best interface ever designed for the web is the google

It doesn't care if it is in a thick client or a thin client

Yeah, there is nothing like trading a sharecropper's shack for
a teepee. Manly stuff. Freedom to roam, to hunt, to fight,
to live a short and brutal life with ugly mates.

and does know without a dictionary what they were but had to
learn about teepees from movies, the same source any modern
computer user should learn about either of them and HTML++
browsers)
