Mike,

Not to be argumentative, but never say never. -g-

Five years down the road, how much will a box cost? And how much will the network and devices that connect to them cost? I'm not really sure myself but if I had to guess, I'd say that they reach some sort of parity, especially if the thin client takes over in the enterprise.

BTW - I have a friend who works for a Japanese mainframe company, and he sees a major trend towards thin clients on the horizon.
