Chaz, George Gilder has been writing for years that the wireless phone will be the personal computer of choice in the future - using access , probably through the internet, to the fat server as the engine of webtone. Not sure how Citrix fits in all that. The fat server you mention needs Citrix software to make the apps accessible on the thinnest of thin clients, the telephone. It's much cheaper to leave the app on the server than trying to store it, upgrade it, and maintain it in every phone. I think of Citrix as the delivery boy of those software apps. The smaller and more mobile the networked appliances become, the more important it becomes to leave the software app on the server, and the more important the delivery boy becomes. For me, one of the simplest and most beautiful aspects of an investment in Citrix is that we don't have to guess which platform or language will ultimately win in the delivery system. Our delivery boy has all of 'em under control. --Mike Buckley
