On the other hand, if there really is a demand then why hasn't the network station "brick" become more popular? We used them a few years ago for a project and they were fast, easy, and reliable.

Subject: Re: Some fodder for marketing, perhaps

Two factors I have seen that prohibit PCs on the production floor are:

1) A hostile environment. This includes air quality, temperature controls, near-by moving objects from fork lifts to thrown packages, and workers with no love for the company or its property.

2) Lost production while people use the PCs to play games, do personal stuff, and spend company time to make a case for an Internet connection so they can download porn, music, and surf to e Bay.

Until that changes, I can not see durable and cheap terminals disappearing. ...
