| Abstract: | If you really want to insult somebody in the computer industry, accuse that person of thinking like a stodgy data-processing manager from the dinosaur days of big iron. It's a well-worn weapon that both sides are wielding in the debate over personal computers versus network computers (NCs). But which side is most guilty of mainframe mentality? The answer is not as obvious as it may seem. Intel and Microsoft, leading the charge against NCs, say the new devices are nothing more than throwbacks to the bad old days of centralised computing and dumb terminals. |
