Bill, I'm not sure I can answer your first concern, regarding IE; I don't play online games, either. However, your second concern is valid; moving all of the Flash processing to a central machine IS likely to create a network bottleneck. This shouldn't be a problem if you run the web browser as a local app. If you're running Flash on the machines now, they are almost certainly fast enough for this. -David ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
