| Abstract: | Are network computers just another false alarm, like the first personal digital assistants? That's the down-to-earth question you can't help asking when high-profile CEOs such as Oracle's Larry Ellison, Sun Microsystems' Scott McNealy and IBM's Lou Gerstner describe their utopian vision of a 500 US Dollar Internet appliance that could replace today's PCs. IT's a question that provokes strong reactions from both the visionaries and the naysayers (network computers are impractical, underpowered throwbacks to dumb terminals). |
