Patrick, good link. I particularly liked this quote. Note the word "exponentially". It shows why the thin client will not replace the PC. The only PC that costs anything is the last one. All the others are paid for and "free". "The evolution of this market is occurring exponentially," Warren Lieberfarb, president of Warner Home Video, said at DVD Conference 1998. "DVD is truly the first product that represents the convergence of the television and the PC." The younger generation views the PC with a DVD-ROM drive, as their media platform, according to Lieberfarb. "It's going to be their typewriter, their calculator, their stereo system, their television, their game machine, it's their all-in-one player," he said. "And that generation is adopting DVD video as one of the most significant applications that drives their interest in DVD-ROM with PCs." techweb.com Regards, Stewart
