Remember to keep an open mind about ThinStation usage. The cool thing is
that its made up of packages, and that both hardware and needs vary
between users.

Java is universal - the following clients *could* be run as Java
clients, if we wanted: Citrix, Tarantella, SSH, Rdesktop, VNC - well the
list goes on.

I can't see anyone doing just that, but getting native Java apps on
ThinStation doesn't look as that bad an idea to me.
