Look at today's New York Times. Front page article on SUNW's distributed computing

On Wednesday SUNW will unveil the first consumer version of technology. The product is called "Jini". It uses Sun's Java programming language to harness the power of millions of computers.

If I can get rid of Windows! I will be very happy.

Today, as you know, consumer devices are attached to PC and controlled by operating system.

With Jini, the networks becomes the computer. Each consumer device will be able to communicate directly with every other device so that many tasks are independent of computer and its operating system.

Try and buy the paper. The article describes Jini well. The diagrams are also good!!!

Jini may be a big leap forward!!!!
