Gene,>>>Seem's to me that Citrix and Cheap PC's probably hurt the Java effort more than anything else. <<< It seems to me that in order for Java to succeed, they would have to come up with a killer app equivalent to a word processor, spread sheet, email, or a web browser. If they do, then all those cheap PC's would become instantly obsolete and therefore, worthless. However, IMO a killer app written in Java is a very long shot. Mary

Gene, Re: Seem's to me that Citrix and Cheap PC's probably hurt the Java effort Cheap and powerful PC should help not hurt Java. Java is just over-hyped. It has its role to play but definitely not Wintel killer. Best candidate is 3270/5250/VT100 replacement but this is an area hard to crack. The mission critical systems. IMO, Citrix is also over-hyped. Just what kind of server hardware one needs(that is good for Intel actually)? Gary
