Re: Thin Client / RDC-RDP

Mark -

Thanks ... presumably the Thin Client downloads the application from
the server, rather than actually running it on the server ... else
the network would be kept rather busy ... ??

I guess I'm imagining Idretek being loaded from the server to the
Neo' & then run, saving data to HD (back at the server or plugged
into the Neo' via one of the USB sockets), and that when downloaded
Idratek could be either in Neo' flash-memory (where it stays even
while the Neo' is powered-down), or in 'Neo Ram (where it is lost if
the Neo' powers down) ...
