..Or if you dont have personal "computers", so that the same sunray is used
by alot of different people at different times.

Very neat to just plug in your card and then have the same session as
you had last time, wherever you sit down.

You also can have several OS'es (for exemple Solaris and Windows) on the
same machines, very flexible.

Unfortunatly you really have to have a need for this functions, otherwise
its better economically to have "real" workstations, especially if you
can do with x86 PC's with linux/BSD.. :/
