The way NCs work (I think): Many NCs share one application server. All application programs are maintained on the application server, which could be a PC. When a NC runs an application, the program gets downloaded to the NC's memory. The NC's memory is big enough to run several applications. If you don't change applications frequently, there won't be too much network traffic. People have been using this concept for many years. Many companies keep their shared programs on network's file server. Users can start the programs from the server. They don't have to keep the programs on their PC's hard disk. If all the files are kept on the file server, the PC's hard disk is useless, and it's actually used as a NC. Correct me if I am wrong.
