> embedded Web browsers If you have a network of embedded devices, what better way is there to admin them than a Browser. You have some code that does SNMP(II) and/or CMAP at the control terminal to get and set device parameters and display them in HTML. This COULD be a PC or NC, but it could also be a hand-held device that a technician carries around, or a display panel/keypad in a smart house. There is also the STB/DTV application of Browsers. If you can do time cards and expense reports in HTML, why can't you program your VCR? I have to agree with your point about the size of a Browser - this is one of Bill Gates agruments about NCs not really being "thin". But, as I'm sure you are aware, "memory is getting cheap". I've heard that for 20 years. The only problem is, if my product uses less memory than yours, whatever the cost, mine will cost less to produce, resulting in either better margins or lower selling prices for me. As product catagories mature, and competition increases, the amount of memory needed by a product always matters. -Dave Lehenky
