That means we can concentrate more on the operator's environment. How often do the images change? Is the operator going to compose the images (documents?) on that central machine: say by scanning paper documents, or doing CAD, or whatever?

Set up a demo network of 3 machines; one as a server, and two clients (to show that more than one end-user workstation works). -Chuck PS: What happens if one of your VP's asks the same question I did?
