Considering that the mainframes last bastion of use is in the very large database management (and transaction processing). I don't think a gaggle of PC's can compete here BUT if you include a fileserver (data- server) then the picture changes and the PC, as a smart data entry/query terminal will win... the software is what's needed (if it doen't already exist). IMHO. - Jim L.
