We have cpu servers and file servers. Those are centralized resources. The users run on PCs, terminals (not just X), workstations, etc. The user can have local control and resources for frequest tasks, while keeping the economy of scale which come from a server. Sharing of the local resources is done on a personal request basis, rather than being ordained by some central authority. Usually this takes the form of A letting B run something at low priority. Most high cost peripherals are attached to a shared machine. -- bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM -or- uunet!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen) "The world is filled with fools. They blindly follow their so-called 'reason' in the face of the church and common sense. Any fool can see that the world is flat!" - anon
