Flex and App Engine - time machine?

When I first laid hands on a computer and wrote my first Basic program (on an Apple II), I had this thrilling moment where I thought, "I can do anything with this."  The software industry was young (so was I).  Opportunity was everywhere.  All I needed was a good idea and a computer and I could make it happen.  I feel the same way when using Adobe's Flex Framework and Google's App Engine together.  I can write and deploy a rich, responsive, engaging internet application that scales (to Google-scale) with just my laptop.  Oh yeah, and it's easy (certainly way easier that JSP/J2EE)  That is awesome.  That is powerful.  I can do anything with that. 

I feel young again.
