NCs is a broad classification of machines. None of which look at all like Winterm. Winterm is a dumb terminal and does not have local processing like NCs will. Closer to NCs is the NetPC that it appears MS has given up on. The NetPCs problem is that it is still disk dependent, subject to user and disk corruption, and will have a high cost of maintenance, in short, no improvement over Windows. Bob O - Computing for fun
