Yep, and that's exactly the difference. In Appletalk, the whole program is
"downloaded" from the computer x to the memory of computer y. It's run as a
new process in the computer y.

So, this X Window network transparency, you're talking about, is definitely
more advanced than the Appletalk remote application thingy I was talking
about.

I know _them_! You notice: They have percentually more vowels in their names
(than a usual UNIX program) and I immediately remember them!

X Window should maybe be just IO!
