OK. Next question. What is the cost difference between a computer
terminal and a low power computer with the muscle to run apps whose
data is on the central server?

If one uses terminals, how many users can a high power computer handle?
50? 100? On the other hand, if every user contributes enough CPU to run
the apps, it could be thousands.
