  12. Recently, there's been some dicussion around the office that X can be a 
  13. bandwidth hog.  Obviously, it depends on what you are doing, but on a
  14. thicknet ethernet just how bad would it be to use X to support an office
  15. automation environment, i.e. some word processing, e-mail, and spreadsheet
  16. applications.  We don't forsee a lot of big bitmap-type activity.
