Whatever Happened to the NC?
,----[ Quote ]
| They were a little ahead of their time because
| Java was new and networks and servers dragged
| but people still call thin clients dumb
| terminals because of the FUD spread by M$ and
| its partners. You can see part of the story in
| these summaries of M$âs campaigns about the
| time of Lose â98. That is a document produced
| as evidence in Comes v M$ and it shows that not
| only did the NC have a few problems of its own,
| M$ actively connived with its partners to dig a
| hole and bury the NC. I will use that document
| in a grade 9 class outlining the history of the
| PC. The students will be using network
| computers/thin clients so they will know FUD
| when they see it. These are not dumb terminals
| or Java-based thin clients but regular X
| terminals showing the pictures and sending the
| clicks to a powerful machine built four years
| after the FUD campaign. The NC works.
