Precicisely, or use VNC or something. I reckon that covers basically
everyone. There are then a very small number of people left who, for
instance, want to be able to run a SPARC-based system in the same room
they are in and could do with something quieter than any datacentre-
class system is likely to be. I'm in this group - I want to be able
to play with SPARC-specific stuff at home - but I suspect this is just
a tiny number of people (and even then, if I cared enough, I could
arrange for there to be network in the attic or something).

Does the Sun Ray server side stuff cost money now? (this isn't some
kind of rhetorical question, I was just wondering if I could get a 2nd-
hand one and play with it at home as well :-))
