DHH says you don't need OffLine access.
[Ryan Norbauer] expands the thought: One of the most salient and ubiquitous of these images is the one of that slick-haired asshole in a monkey suit, who's often depicted kicking back in business class seat on a plane, one arm up behind his head, maybe chatting on the Sky Phone (which he has patched through his bluetooth headset or something), and all the while dicking around with Lotus Notes his Think-pad (the IBM sticker covered with black tape) with his other hand... Quite simply: people don't need offline access; they merely want to think of themselves as the sort of people who need offline access.
