For all that you can do with a web browser, I've seen very little development with it. Sure, there are great web sites (I personally like (http://www.rev.net/~wyatt), but they have nothing to do with applications. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Nail, Larry Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 6:37 PM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: Here's a biggie. Why is thin computing the future. 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...

Why is thin computing the future. 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. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ruud Bransen Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 9:26 AM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: Here's a biggie.

Why is thin computing the future. 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. -Paul > ---------- > From: Angus Macdonald[SMTP:angus.Macdonald@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Reply To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 9:14 AM > To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [THIN] Here's a biggie.
