Regarding NCs vs PCs...

I thought that one of the great advantages that NCs were supposed to
have over PCs was in system administration costs. Who cares if a
PC costs $500, or $1000 or even $3000 if have to pay a system
administrator $100,000 (loaded) to install and maintain software
on the PCs. Wasn't there some study in the past year that said that
the *real* cost of a PC including system administration was something
like $5-10,000 *per year*? (I dont recall the actual number). Now, an
NC would get all its applications over the net, so the system admin
would only have to be done on the server, right?

regards, Bill
