>> No one still knows how Oracle's NCA based products (or for that matter IBM's or Joe's Software shop, etc.) are going to sell. There is much talk but not any real numbers yet. Addi, I've gotten an early look at NCA with one of my clients. I've dinked around with it a fair amount. Client-side performance penalties relative to the 10sc fat client architecture are hardly noticeable. It does require 32Megs on the client and a P133 minimum, but memory and processing power are becoming cheap enough to make this a non-issue. (Besides, Windoze 95 needs this kind of power as well to avoid GPF's in slow motion!) Try to get to a demo of the NCA apps if you can. I think you will be impressed, if not completely blown away. I'm also confident that what insignificant performance issues remain will be addressed by Jdk 1.2 as soon as Sun irons out the kinks, which there are quite a few at this point, from my understanding. Have faith, the new era is about to dawn.
