>>You must missed "NC, live and well" last month. <<

I'll believe it when I see it. Hope you guys aren't calling
dumb terminals, or even regular PC's retrieving applications
from a server, a Network Computer (NC). That's a concept
that's about as original as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Oracle, Sun team against Microsoft

"...Reducing costs and simplifying management was also the aim of the much-heralded but hardly successful NC."

"It is also a "Plan B" for Sun and Oracle, which previously promoted network computers as the way to break Microsoft's chokehold on the industry. The firms have since backed off that idea, leaving the desktop as is. Instead, they are looking at the server as the means to loosen Microsoft's grip."
