>You can't tell me that any sort of PC hardware especially monitors lasts 10 years Interesting point, the clients we have in service 10+ years are moslty X Terms, so they are NOT PC hardware :) Also, I never suggested monitors lasted for ten years, the question was about thin clients.

With the older integrated Wyse's that had the monitor built in we had all sorts of problems...bios, screen, etc. even had a few smoke and catch fire...those were the days...with our WinXPe clients we have all sorts of problems with power supplies 3 years out. You can't tell me that any sort of PC hardware especially monitors lasts 10 years in a business enviroment reliably..I'm not buying it.

I have seen Wyse terminals (3350s - I THINK) where they will start failing, with the symptoms being that they won't keep a connection. You would think being solid state that shouldn't happen... - Bob Coffman ************************************************ For Archives, RSS, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link: //www.freelists.org/list/thin ************************************************
