Jim, you're probably right on X-term. However, besides the mom/pop shops, most corporations will look for alternative to desk-top PC/WS setup. You have duplicated hwr/sfw EVERYWHERE that a 'dump/smart' terminal would do the job and let the servers handle the rest. It may be slow in coming, but this got to make more sense for corporation that have these 'upgrade pains' and duplicate functions. Ah! this leads to the corporate dream: 'down/right sizing' the workforce. Since computer now do most of the work and there is no hard feeling to 'right/down sizing' the computers, this must be the next step they are going to do to improve the bottom line. Of course, one might argue, we don't have enough PC in the universe YET. So demand will continue rise and upgrade will continue to rise.
