I used to work for a company that had this really great idea. 

They spent 2 years implementing it. The big problem turned out 
to be performance. With infinite CPU speed and infinite RAM size 
the application would have been absolutely brilliant. 
Unfortunately, on a 400MHz CPU with 256Mbytes of RAM it was 
totaly useless.
