<It was an Oracle NC, running Navigator, attached to an Oracle departmental server by a LAN. The applications were intelligent email (the program sorted and created intelligent summaries of the email message contents), VRML data-mining applications, and order entry. It seemed as fast and as clear as my PC.>

Again Bill, what speed connetcion did it have, how many NCs ran off of the server (load?), and the stabiltiy of the OS?

What you saw was a staged demonstration. To make it look good, they can put it on a T1 by itself running to a super hyped server. This is not the way today's enterprise is set up, and it is not the way they will be set up in the near future. You know it is marketing, and not reality. In realtiy NCs have a long way to go, much shorter than a simplified PC.
