Hi Scott, Hi Leo, News Flash: NCs find their niche ncworldmag.com From the article: Best fit for NCs: Areas of limited domain work and specialized applications (such as, accounts payable) Replacements for older PCs used to access mainframes and databases For employees who don't take work home Worst fit for NCs: Environments with high percentage of power users and laptop users Areas of very diversified work tasks, where employees perform a variety of tasks over the course of a day Also: Most MIS managers estimate the TCO of the PC desktop to be $2,500 to $5,000 (the Gartner Group's estimate is $15,000). The reason is that most businesses do not factor in all the costs that the analysts did. As a result, most MIS managers believe the TCO numbers are grossly exaggerated, and therefore, dismiss them as evidence of the NC's cost benefits.

Scott Eight miles high, and when you touch down, you'll find that... the balloon was too heavy for the hot air generator. Sometimes I miss Keith Moon a lot. "Boris the Spider" Don't get Fooled Again. Leo
