running WinCE, connected via Citrix to a Win2K
Advanced
Server host. There
are only a few "real" PCs there -- in fact, I think the Macs
might outnumber
them.
Before all of you cry off-topic, doesn't it seem
odd to
anyone we're now
full circle and back to low-power terminals connected to a
"mainframe," now
Since when is a "Win2k Advanced Server host" a mainframe? :)
That aside, though, no, it doesn't seem odd at all. It's
certainly The Right Thing To Do, WRT administrative overhead,
and maintenance/repair cost.
Strange, possibly that corporate america is starting to do
the right thing. That's never happened before, to my knowledge.
Compared to the WinTerms, my old Wyse terminal looks
so nice.
Especially when you consider that it won't run windows. :)
