<Why buy a PC to run WinFrame ?> If I am the one to decide, I would rather use this stretegy : There must be people who need to replace their existing PC for whatever reason (WinFrame just can't fit all situation). Give them Pentium-class new generation PC (which is getting cheaper and cheaper). The existing 'less powerful' one can then be given to some 'junior' staff as Winframe terminal. Of course I won't use a full feature PC to run just Winframe. <security and control by MIS> I think what MIS should control is the data or information and not the hardware. Since using Winframe would put all user data on servers, MIS needs only to control the server. All they need to tell the users are 'we only support this single application WinFrame client on you desktop, you can install whatever you like at your own risk'. I agree that there is cases where NC is more suitable just like today one can use a XT as a 3270/vt100 terminal but it makes more sense to just plug a WYSE instead. However, I don't believe NC would displace the majority of PCs. Gary
