If you run a company with a separate computer for each employee, you should really stop doing that and switch over to running a company with a Sun Ray for every employee. Yeah, this is a "plug" for Sun, but I'm serious about this. Sun recently set me up with a Sun Ray at home (a Sun Ray 170 to be exact), and I'm very impressed. We've been using Sun Rays at work for a few years now, but seeing them work so well from home is whole other level of technological coolness. Here's a short list of benefits:

• I don't have to maintain anything. All of the applications sit on centralized servers, which are much easier and cheaper to maintain than individual (especially Windows-based) systems.
• I can leave my session at work with various applications open, even if I'm in the middle of typing an email, and when I get home, I simply insert my badge/smart card and I can pick up where I left off.
• It's fast. Right now I'm typing this from 13 miles away from the servers and I can see no delay as I type. Sometimes the screen jitters a bit when I switch windows, but it's not bad at all.
• It's secure. I don't have to worry about setting up my laptop to be hacker-proof and don't have to worry about it being stolen.
• It's completely quiet and power efficient. The first time I used a Sun Ray at home, I found it almost too quiet in my condo. No fans, no heat, no hard drive noise.
• This 17" LCD is way nicer than my laptop display!

Heck, if I had a family, I'd set up a small Sun Ray network at home. Of course, I'd also make my kids use Solaris or Linux too...
