Hm. I've seen Web kiosks, terminals, X terminals, and stripped-down PCs, but
have never seen an NC (in the Oracle sense) in action. Where do they find
these NCs? Where can you buy them?

STUDY SAYS NCs ARE REPLACING PCs IN WORKPLACE
A study by International Data Corp. indicates that about 73% of companies
buying network computers say they are replacing PCs, rather than terminals.
Eighty percent cited the lower cost of NCs in their decision. About 40% of
the respondents indicated they own more than 100 NCs, with IBM the most
recognized brand name, followed by Sun Microsystems and Hewlett-Packard.
