@techreport{gray1995locally, author = {Gray, Jim}, title = {Locally Served Network Computers}, year = {1995}, month = {February}, abstract = {NCs are the natural evolution of PCs, ubiquitous computers everywhere. The current vision of NCs requires two improbable developments: (1) inexpensive high-bandwidth WAN links to the Internet, and (2) inexpensive centralized servers. The large NC bandwidth requirements will force each home or office to have a local server LAN attached to the NCs. These servers will be much less expensive to purchase and manage than a centralized solution. Centralized staff are expensive and unresponsive.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/locally-served-network-computers/}, pages = {5}, number = {MSR-TR-95-55}, }
