Very quickly I'll chip in my dimpled little ball of thought on the NCs.

What is new this time around is the 'thin client' concept. I'm not quite sure what all 'thin client' refers to, but under Rhapsody it kicks butt. The NCs are cheap smart terminals. Rhapsody server requires much less bandwith to communicate with the 'thin client.' May have somthing to do with the Postscript screen markup language imbeded in Rhapsody.

Going off line for about a week. Turkey Day! Good luck everyone. Hope AAPL pops up next week!

Good hunting!

HerbVic, JAAO

I think the Oracle NC ad is pretty strange. Some disadvantaged kid in a tenament with a keyboard and big screen monitor surfing around and chatting with his buddy, "Hey Mikey - Hey Dude". Then they give a teaser price of $299 and up. I can just see people wandering into their local computer store looking for one of these cheapo NC things with a big monitor at that price. I think Oracle is out to lunch with this ad.

Regards, JB
