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.
