- 5594: Thin Clients
- ... for the fences. First, while $500 PCs exit, most large organizations spend significantly more than $1500 per new PC, or about twice the cost of a well-equipped thin-client device.

This strategy makes a lot of sense, because upgrading a PC is a time-consuming, costly exercise that almost always includes follow ... thin-client technologies conducted earlier this year by Datapro concluded that on average, deploying thin-client devices cut support costs by more than 80 percent. If a thin-client s purchase price were twice as high as a PC s, its cost of ownership would still be considerably less expensive. But there is a catch of two. Even if you take into consideration the economic advantages of thin clients, it s ...

- ... local coastal geology. Along California's north coast, cove or pocket beaches are common where the granitic and basaltic rock that composes the sea cliffs has been sculpted by prevailing northwesterly winds and battered by high energy waves over millions of years. In Southern California, beaches often consist of long ribbons of sand interrupted by widely separated rocky points. The bluffs of easily eroded shales and sandstones that edge the coast ... a special niche in the surf zone of Central California beaches, well-adapted to the crashing surf by nature of their large, heavy shells, which act as anchors. these giant clams are dependent upon the high-oxygen content of the roiling surf to survive. Inland from the surf zone, sand craves scavenge in the sun-dried kelp and bury in the sand, using their antennae to rake food particles to their ...
