re: NWRE- They aren't really what I'd call an enterprise software company so I don't know them. The symbol goes by on the ticker every 2 minutes so its obviously a hot stock. Generally, this company does thin client appliances for windows. Thats why they do so much with citrix- you use citrix when you have a windows based app (or a windows based client of a C/S app) and you need to provide web access, because some users are not sitting at the client site. I once remember using citrix to provide access to a leasing C/S package running in San Jose that someone in Australia wanted to use. Thats the environment. What I'm getting at is this is not really the future model of computing... unless you are an Msft weenie. The new apps use an n-tier architecture with (I believe) javascript on the thin clients. And of course you have a morphing of these thin clients with phones, the stuff opwv does.. there's a whole java-type technology around that (called "brew" in one case). I know nwre says they do something with Linux but I don't think that is their main thrust. L
