SO5.1 & other office suites

[wulfie <nospam [at] wulfric7.co.uk>]

I'd like to see a full version of Applix in action - the black & white
demo version in SuSE is pretty naff.  

The rationale with web-based SO is that it runs on a monster application
server so the result should be similar to running MS Office on a Winframe
client over a similarly spec'ed comms link (or an ordinary Xterm) i.e.
slow. All that should pass between server & client is the X display stuff
so you wouldn't need the binaries, Java etc. locally, but that's still far
too much for a 56K modem to handle.

I think Sun will be off to Casualty wih gunshot wounds to both feet.....
