Cheryl, I don't think that you are giving WBT's (Windows Based Terminals) enough credit. It's not Microsoft designing them but NC companies like NCDI, Wyse, Boundless, etc. WBT's do have their own operating system in memory (Windows CE) and also I'm sure handle some caching and graphics locally. Please go to www.ncd.com and look at some of the articles. NCD considers them to be "thin clients" not dumb terminals. If you have any questions please feel free to post to the NCDI thread addressed to Doug Klein (Cheif Techical Officer) and I'm sure he would be happy to respond. Thanx for the explanation:-) Regards, Dave P.S. One thing that I wouldn't personally do is underestimate Bill Gates. Even though I don't like his dominating style, he is a very intelligent person.
