I believe the "network is the computer" will sooner or later come true. The reason is CPU time is becoming a commodity ( look @ Grid Computing ) and
bandwidth
costs are coming down slowly but surely.
My point is that with CPU cost coming down, HDD cost coming down, irrespective of bandwidth cost, what does the use get ? What is the benefit that will be derived in terms of money, efficiency, etc. by moving to NC ?
