I just miss running applications on my computer instead of running a browser that runs a framework that runs the front end of an application that perceptibly lags because it has to consult a backend run elsewhere by a company that requires an account and sells your data. 

 I fondly remember Encarta, which was a locally run Wikipedia. Having the ability to get information on mostly anything before the internet took over felt like a superpower. 

 please get a lightning address so I can zap this
