Can anyone confirm/negate that terminal server shoud *NOT* not be physically used "as a station" = like terminal? Why? I know good terminal can be for $50+ (in my areas), but: * we can save electricity on 1T * we can save a little place * we will have monitor, keyboard attached to TS (so why not to use them?) * TS (any) onboard card is better (2D quality) than any 3-4 years OLD lowend PCI/AGP cards * can have DVI * save (only but)a few MB of RAM and HDD (swap, gew mbits of netcard (used by other1 terminal) * $50 is NOT $0 Thanks 4 your opinions. > > That's my $0.02 worth - I'm sure others will feel differently about the > hardware, but you DID ask what I thought...
