I'll make you the same offer ... ship me your PC that your typing on now and I'll ship you a JavaStation with a Sun HotJava Bugware Browser and we'll see how productive you are ;)

Net appliances are complimentary to the desktop not a replacment technology; a new market. They provide lightweight mobile information contact/agenda/notepad functionality/net connectivity and are well suited for those purposes or providing specialized information services ; ie. stock trading etc.

SUNW by pretending to be above the desktop is making some serious
corporate mistakes. If they want to grow they need to dream up a desktop strategy as they play around in the sand box with all this JINI / net device hype. Just look at what Apple has managed to do with the IMac ... SUNW could be in the same position on the desktop if they invested the effort.

every study indicates that there is a move towards cetralization on large servers all over..again..go and look at studies from Gartner, IDC, Meta, Giga, forrester..etc..obviously the James Nicole and associates think otherwise..
