If that's the case, I would bet that history repeats itself and that this whole deal dies a death similar to the X Windows fiasco.

Let's see - HP, Tektronix, NCD - these were all real successful with X Windows Terminals - More expensive than PCs but without all that extraneous horsepower that seem to burden PCs these days. Haven't seen any of these companies pushing these machines for several years now.

For those who don't learn the lessons of history, they are doomed to repeat history's failures. Sounds like NCD is well along in this category.

Re: Intel & Exploras - the friends I have at Intel use either PCs (mostly Pentium) or full blown Workstations (Sun, IBM) - but these folks are quite technical. Perhaps non-technical people have some Exploras.
