Yup, We've deployed quite a few Neoware thin clients which are essentially dumb terminals. They work as web browsers and terminal services clients. Our users have access to Access, among other things.

I would like to build a handful of cheap computers with no floppy, no cd, no hard disk but I need the processing power of the PC. IOW the PC needs to power up. Load windows from a server, load a program from the server and go to work. Terminal server is generally a full on pc that boots off its own hard disk and then loads TS client (from its own hard disk). John W.
