TWST: Could we begin with a brief historical sketch of Neoware Systems and an overview of things as they are now?
Mr. Kantrowitz: Neoware is a provider of software, services and managed thin client appliances. These are very interesting devices that have no hard drive, no floppy and no CD-ROM. They're sold to businesses and they're alternatives to personal computers, that help companies lower the cost of deploying and maintaining applications on wired or wireless networks. So it's a new architecture that's sold as a way for organizations to reduce their upfront costs and reduce their ongoing cost of operation, which is very interesting for companies today, given the constraints in IT spending.

TWST: From what I've read about your company, the savings are substantial. Kantrowitz: They are substantial, especially for organizations that have distributed networks and many remote locations. The cost of deploying PCs into those environments is prohibitively costly and thin clients are an excellent alternative. Thin clients can cost less than half of a PC, so the initial capital investment is reduced. It is said that for approximately every 50 PCs it is necessary to maintain a system administrator. This is not true with thin clients due to central administration; therefore, this cost is also saved.
