Has anyone else read April 1997's BYTE?
It knocked me out!!!
There is a company called citrix (www.citrix.byte)
which allows a variety of clients (inluding Dumb terminals/Mac/Unix/95) to 
run WinNT environment.

The article was *really good*!!!
Breif summary:
You can use a 386 with 1 meg to connect to WinNT.
20 users can connect to a pentium pro with 64 megs (each user gets a 
personal environment).
NT has multi processing built in, and Citrix's WinFrame software extends 
it to multi-users!

Has anyone tried it?
Anyone getting rid of some old PC's?

Thanks
Anil
