Have you ever get tired of managing your PC at home, or even worse, manage your relatives and neighbours machines? Have you avoided looking something up on the web just because it takes so long to boot up your PC? Have you had viruses? Are you afraid of viruses or getting you computer high jacked? The list of treats to the normal PC user can get long and it's time to get a change.
Ever wanted an Internet machine that is on all the time, safe, easy, no management, silent, and very low power consumption? It exists, it's named the SunRay developed by Sun Microsystems
What I want to bring forward is the "PC free home"™ in which you have the SunRay console at home connected to your ordinary broadband Internet connection. Then the server program providing functionality for browsing, e-mail, word processing etc. is run by an ISP who also takes care of all management. The cost for the device and for the services will be considerably lower than with an ordinary PC and youwill do zero administration. The SunRay client power consumption is as low as 4 Watt i.e. 1 tenth of a light bulb letting you always keep it on. Or turn it off, it "boots" in a couple of seconds. As there are no disc, CPU or memory (it on the server) there is no fans and it's totally silent. You can even move between machines, having your session moving with you. It just, securely, follows your login.
So stay tuned until if get my act together around this.
