Tench, Re: It's very inconceivable to imagine that a "thin server" is going to >cost under $1000. Consider that most sub-$1000 machines out there >don't even have more than 32 MB of RAM. A server without enough >RAM is dead in the water, period. What about a fast hard drive? >Network hubs? Operating system (surely you won't run Windows 98 >on a server)? Other software? >OK, perhaps you can split hairs and subtract the cost of the monitor >and the network hardware and the software from the price of the >thin server, and perhaps you can get closer to the $1000 price >range. It may be inconcievable with Intel CPU's but not AMD's. In fact more and more SOHO market will be an important market and a lot of work is going on low cost home networking via regular phone extensions as well etc. A low cost server with perhaps a PC in every room may be the norm in a few years. We have 3 PC's in our house and will be adding a fourth pretty soon. Once HDTV decoders become available for PC, I will probably have a fifth in my living room as well. Regards, Kash.
