<h1>Project Pismere - ACMG Meeting - 5/18/1999</h1>



<i>"Everything you wanted to know about Pismere,but were afraid or forgot to ask"</i>

<h2>Definition of Pismere</h2>

Pismere means centrally managed, serially reusable, dataless
workstations (as opposed to private workstations).  Pismere is
analogous to Athena but it is NOT Athena NT.<p> Pismere has an
academic focus, although it also has administrative implications.
Pismere aims for minimal changes to client machines, with major
changes to servers.<p>

In order to save precious meeting time, we'd like to request that you read the following background material before the ACMG meeting on Tuesday, May 18.<p>
