Syborg,

Granted, no one individual can go out today & buy an NC for say, about $500. ORCL's commercials are aired to create consumer awareness of the NCA.

The initial market for this product will be the corporate user & educational institutions, specifically local school districts where there is grant money & demand to provide computer technology to students via the most economical means.

What's so amazing is your reaction to a logical response by another post pointing out the absurdity of your reference to purchase of an entire network. The beauty of the NC concept is in the numbers where economies of scale prevail, albeit at the cost complete independence of PC architecture.

Bottom line: the NC will not compete head-to-head with the PC. It will find its own niche where a large numbers of clients need only connection to the network server to perform the tasks for which the client is provided to the user.
