I've been getting the Java digest, and after reading a lot of industry
comments (Gartner Flash of 9/22, Forrester Brief of 9/21), and reading Scott
McNealy's comments that companies are already building a "java terminal", I
wondered just what would be an ideal "Java Terminal" if that is the correct
phrase. Apple is designing the Pippin; Nintendo has the Ultra 64; both are
under $500 as McNealy (and Larry Ellison too in the Financial Times)
specified.
If Java embedded in Netscape, for example,is a true network operating system,
and presuming the functionality, is it safe to conjecture that I can junk
most of my Intel/microsoft pc's and their attendant support costs by
substituting the Java Terminal?
