- Considering that the mainframes last bastion of use is in the very
- large database management (and transaction processing). I don't think a
- gaggle of PC's can compete here BUT if you include a fileserver (data-
- server) then the picture changes and the PC, as a smart data entry/query
- terminal will win... the software is what's needed (if it doen't already
- exist). IMHO.
