Addi...so if I correctly understand what you're saying is that I can buy this NC and hook up to the internet and load up MS WORD so I can word process right ?

I have just have a few questions:

How this is software usage going to be charged ? 2 dollars a minute ? 5 dollars per use ?

Who's going to pay for those expensive Sun servers ? The ISP...so they can charge us more for online service ?

What about the bandwidth problem ? MS Word is over 12 megabytes...

What if the connection breaks while I am typing a 20 page report ( Would it be saved ??? I would kill someone if it was lost !!!)

While I understand that NC maybe be well suited in specific niches like order entries and other types of light duty work...but there is no way in hell I am going to give up my PC for a dumb terminal.

Joe
