        NCs *are* computers.  They just don't have any disk drives.  The 
     server is their hard drive.  Their reason for being is to be PCs the 
     user cannot re-configure.  This simplifies network administration and 
     saves the company money.  But it's still client/server;  most of the 
     work will be done on the NC.

   I think that Java is strictly client/server.  It's not meant for 

     green screens.  The server(AS/400) gives the client (PC or Mac or NC 

     or Sun Workstation) the Java applet and the client runs it.  A green 

     screen could not do this 
     
Isn't this the premise for the NC machines?  Their whole reason for being? 
A windowed, mouseable terminal?
