The best explanation I've heard as to where the NC fits in
is in the last two items of the following list:

Power user
MANY and varied apps.

Information worker
Several specialized applications, local storage,...

Office staff: Secretary, some management...
Few applications: Mail, Calendar, Browser, and one or two
specialty apps.

Factory worker
One application: Inventory, Order entry...


However, there is a HUGE number of those who now have a PC.
Note: There is NO word processor (simple text only, maybe
some HTML).

Unless somebody can develop NC applications that can use MS files
and basically look and feel.....

Which ones are those Mike? The Office 4.2, Office 97, Office 98,
blah blah blah. It's a moving target. I've got a total MS shop,
except for the database server, and I spend a lot of time screwing
around with MS files going from MS product to MS product. 95%
of our work could be done with a good gui html editor.
