(Remember those days when we had PCs with 1MB RAM and no hard disk and RamDisk as temporary hard disk?) Going along these lines, I believe Cisco's plan to eliminate PC as the middleman might work, once the cost of these smart devices/technologies are driven down over a period of time. Stacey, your thoughts are right..adoption in current day scenario might be difficult. Again, time is the answer - lets wait and watch.
