Rescuing PCs
0 Comments
Issue Date: Jul 15, 1997
JavaSoft, the
California-based division of Sun
Microsystems, has
developed a new
software that
promises to breathe
new life into old
personal computers
(PCs) and
extend the working
lives of
machines destined for
the scrapyard. Developed under
an internal
programme called
Project Rescue,
JavaPC converts a PC
running on
MSDOS software into a
network
computer (NC).
Installation is said
to be as simple as
loading a new
application and any
486-based PC
can be transformed
instantly into a
hybrid machine
running on software developed for
the Java-based
NCs. A JavaPC will
cost less than
$100 in the US.
