- Why did the fail?

What was wrong with products that do processing locally?
You've said that they don't work, but haven't given any solid reasons why.
You mention tampering, but anything capable of rendering windows is going to have some sort of client-side OS that can be tampered with by someone smart enough. Besides, why tamper when I can unplug the smart display from the network jack and plug my handheld computer in? And I don't think schools and businesses are that concerned with expert tampering, anyway.
You also mentioned the problem with slow networks hurting storage access, but networks are faster, and, in my opinion just as important, main memory is so dirt cheap that in most application just about every piece of persistent data can be held in cache and asynchronously persisted as needed. - Posted by: Erik1234 Posted on: 09/23/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
