Agreed. So that brings us to the issue of transport, and cost thereof. In an office environment, one can be physically wired to a network or connected through a local wireless system. Costs associated with this topology range from $0 to a fraction of a cent per megabyte. Move to a cellular based system, bump that cost up to dollars per megabyte. Move to a sideband/wideband system, $10's of dollars per meg. Satellite, even more. The key to a thin client will be cheap access to the server. - Tony > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter Cochrane [mailto:] > Sent: Wednesday, September 02, 1998 2:45 PM > To: liquid > Cc: 'w-h' > Subject: RE: Wearable Thinclient > > > On or off line all the time or sporadically, thin or thick, narrow or > wideband, with or without a display, voice or key I/O - > provided it brings > computing and communication power to me who cares?
