JC Jaros, are you a SUNW shill? Just answer the question. Good luck with your mother-in-law. If she wants to do something that she could previously do with her windows and can't because you helped her out she won't be too happy. This is sort of like telling her to get rid of her car (it's too difficult for her to use without screwing it up) and insisting that she use the bus (thin client). Of course you could buy her a SUN ultrasparc workstation. This would be analagous to getting rid of her car and replacing it with a much more reliable and solid means of transportation--a Peterbuilt semi. She probably wouldn't appreciate that move either as all she wanted was a simple vehicle to take her to the store, etc. Steve

"So the short answer is schools AREN'T buying desktop OSs. You're stuck in a 10 year old rhetoric that doesn't match up to present day reality" - JCJ I just helped install 50 new PC's with Win2k at my kids elementary school this year. Other elementry schools in the district have done the same. Next year we are scheduled to to do the upgrades at the Junior high. The biggest feature that convinced the district to start the upgrades? The remote admin ablilities of Win2k. The Mac's have been donated to charity. Sun didn't even make an offer. It seems to me that you are living within your own reality. You should get out into the real world more (and take Cheryl with you).
