"The video technology that you speaking of, where did you get that information."

Al,
There are a couple of articles concerning the streaming technology in Network World Magazine. I can't find the latest one online (I only have the print copy).

Wyse Technology next week plans to unveil a new high-end Windows-based terminal tuned for streaming video applications.

The only catch is that to really exploit video, customers will have to wait for software changes by Microsoft and its partner Citrix Systems, which are expected later this year.

The new Winterm 3350SE uses the powerful 200MHz MediaGX processor from National Semiconductor's Cyrix division and a companion chip that decompresses a video datastream and displays it on the terminal screen. This leaves the main processor free to run several server-based applications in separate windows.

The vendor says the terminal is aimed at corporate customers that want to use streaming video to deliver training programs to users' desktops.

Because the MediaGX chip creates considerable heat, Wyse engineers had to turn to an unusual cooling source for a thin client: a water-cooled system using a tenth of an ounce of water....
