More than forty years ago I worked on IBM's attempt to develop time-shared computing. Basically, the idea was that desktop terminals would be connected to a huge mainframe computer and result in great cost savings as well as a fantastic increase in access to corporate data. They even had a couple of graphics terminals, the 2250 and 2260.
Well, lo and behold, in the 21st century they're adopting the same idea. This time it's called virtual desktop services.
