Re: Multiple Displays vs One Display

Hi Nathan,

Yes, in this day and age we are no longer concerned with whether the 
program is in memory or not -- the OS handles that.  But the main 
difference between SRT and MRT is whether the program has to maintain 
information about the requester's process -- an SRT program does not, an 
MRT program does.

The web programs I see would be like an SRT program because they would 
get all necessary data from the browser to handle a request -- they 
would not rely on data stored in the program's  working memory.  Having 
the web program store any info about a requester seems an unlikely 
proposition given that it could be handling thousands if not millions of 
requesters.
