Shannon,
I suppose I could agree with you to some degree, but how far is that future
away? Until developers really adopt SunONE or .NET, it's not going take
off... Maybe 2.5 - 4 years away... A twinkle in IT time, but could be an ERA
in Support Admin time depending on what you're doing.
Just food for thought. We've got a web based expense reimbursement
system... ASP based, works great stateside. Overseas or dialup, I publish
it via WTS for customers to use and get acceptable response time. I would
consider this a thin app b/c there is no client software persay. In this
case, the thin app definitely isn't ready.
Of course, this may not be what you're thinking about "thin apps" either...
Larry

I personally don't see thin computing as the future. I see it more as a tool
that is useful in certain environments. I think that thin apps are more of
the future then thin clients.

I think we all moved away from mainframes because of the "nice" graphics in
Windows. Now you have "mainframes" with pictures!! And you can use your
mouse too (LOL).

Good luck Angus. I get a lot of grief from the desktop side of the house.
Their company line is "We moved off mainframes to get away from that, and
now you want to force us back." What they are really saying is that they
like their job security :). It really is all in how you run the numbers.
