Sunrays are amazing little devices -- one of Sun's hidden gems. I'm amazed it's taken so long for them to get around to offering such a service.

I had a play with one a few months ago, putting a VM running Solaris and the Sunray server in the datacentre, and a Sunray on my desk at the end of an ADSL line. Browsing the web was almost as good as on a local computer, even when I tried watching videos on the BBC news site!
