    Thin Clients

    Who uses em?

    bought one of these little buggers to play around with
    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

    essentially i wanna hook it up to my loungeroom LCD, and i want it to boot up to a remote desktop session, so i can pick which PC in my house i want to connect to and use

    probably gunna run embedded XP on it

    anyone had experience with them?

    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    I may be wrong...
