Hey, everyone, Mark Davis, while a systems administrator, doesn't actually
understand X, Xterminals, or PCs.
1) "$400 one-time for server". There does not exist a machine capable of
running multiple X terminals over a net for $400.
He probably meant $400 for an X-server (the software), not a host. Who
doesn't actually understand about x ? :-)
6) what disks are Mr. Davis' phantom users using for their home
directories and to run X off of? Are they included in the price of
that phantom $400 X server?
A X server is _Software_ not hardware ...
