Richard, We've been debating the NC's potential use here at my site also. As far as we can figure at last count, here's the obvious areas. Secretarial Help/Support Desk Order Desk Shipping/Receiving E-mail/Web terminal Most of these areas are currently using "Dumb" terminals with text only applications. Probably any PC that is being used primarily as a link to a mainframe or server based app, like shipping, is a ripe area for NC. As I've noted before, there is a hugh waste of PC resources in corporate america. Why waste a Pentium Pro on word-processing ? Free it up for an engineer who needs 3-D simulations. I suspect the NC will have the std VGA drivers/resolution. MIS will have the Drivers, you may well be able select a screen resolution in your personal profile. I still see the processor as important, the apps are loaded from the server and run on the the NC in memory. We may well see low & high end NC's. I see plenty of potential oppertunity for an NC done correctly in the fortune 500 market but I don't ever recall anyone saying the NC would be an end-all replacement to the PC. It's a huge market for IS products and I see plenty of room for co-existance for PC's & NC's at WORK. I still want a PC at home. Maurice
