Nice find Tom. Could you explain in layman's terms what "thin-client" refers to. Thanks, Bob

Tom, "CRM"? I should point out here that applix will not conquer the desktop office suite anytime soon. Based on my experience with aplixware, don't throw your windows-based system out, yet. Those extra microseconds saved by programming close to the hardware, the font/graphic/visual design, etc. of the MSFT products are dearly missed when using the applix programs. And the cost is still dear, being a large chunk of my hard disk. My opinion remains on Applix that they are a small company lucky enough to make better than breakeven, but not much more. Bob, as for Redhat, pleez explain how their business model will evolve to justify todays valuation. And how many classes of "special" shares are in the Corel closet. For your financial health please make this hunch investment a very small part of your stock holdings. Excuse my preaching. Greg Greg
