If my windows box did such a good job as a terminal, why am I using a
Sparcstation10 for that purpose? Better yet, why did I suffer
through an SSH compile and install? Of course the box does more than
that. For real work, the sparcstation does a great job - while the
Win2K laptop is used mostly for web surfing, email, and listening to
MP3s. I suppose that the sparcstation could do all that if I decided
to let CDE run (which I don't).
*snort*.....Fancy dumb terminal indeed...
I suppose it's a matter of preference. I simply prefer to use the
Sparc.
