I dont want to get dragged down into the discussion of using a Sun Workstation at Home. Sun Workstations and PC's have always addressed different markets - Sun has always addressed the technical markets and always will - PC's are for home and general office use - it makes more sense today to buy a $500 PC (and no more) for web access and personal applications (see, i said it) - tomorrow it will be a host of net access devices like NC's, settop boxes, palm pilots, etc. Think of it, how much software do you go out and buy? i did my taxes this year on the quicken web site - didnt have to go to compusa to buy anything - i used to have a separate software application to load to use electronic banking - now its done on the web - and i can access it from my Sun Workstation, PC, Laptop wherever I am with Netscape since everything is stored on a centrally managed server. Sun's efforts on the back end in providing those servers, on the front end with Java, NC's and in the middle with its software (Netdynamics, Netscape) makes a lot more sense than trying to fight yesterdays battle of making an ever cheaper PC.
