You made your point just fine. You just don't seem to get that I think it's wrong. Your statements, as far as I'm concerned, prove my point, not yours :) The average PC lasts about 3-5 years in the business world. Larger/richer companies at 3, smaller poorer companies at 5. To say the Sun Ray terminals, or any Thin/Dumb client in their current generation is going to still be suitably useful in 3-5 times that period is, lets just say, a very courageous thing to say. I wouldn't even hazard a guess as to whether or not 100Mb Ethernet will still even be useful 15 years from now. Yes, I know 10MB has been around longer than that, and is still here today, but amazing technological advances can happen over night making today's "long lived" technology useless long before it's maker intended. Thin/Dumb clients have been around almost since the day computers where first powered on...But we certainly still are not using the same methods that we used 15 years ago. Where are NCD Xterminals today? Basically the same thing as a Sun Ray, yet I haven't seen one in use since I graduated University in the early 90s, 15 years ago..... _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
