JDN, according to the ad, you sit down at any Sun Ray Appliance. You log on with a pass word or a smart card. You do your work. When you are finished, you remove the card. The soft ware the Sun Ray runs doesn't matter. You could run Star Office, mainframe, mini-computer Windows, Solaris and Java Based Applications, or rich multi-media. (I wonder what rich multi-media means) Everything runs on one server that uses SOLARIS which is a secure and stable Operating System. When you want begin work again at another site,for instance, all you have to do is: reinsert your card. If you get a chance, look at the picture on P.70 of today's NY TIMES. Mephisto

JDN, when they talk about using mainframe, mini computers and Windows, they mean your company's legacy applications. I don't understand a legacy application. So when they mention Windows, I don't know if that means MSFT Windows. Mephisto
