I humbly disagree, and I thought the best way to voice that would be in a rap. (Please imagine a posse emphasizing the parts in bold...) I sat down today at my PC Gonna log into my Rem-E-DY But yo' yo' dog, what do I see? My W-U-T is R-I-P Times have changed, tools rearranged Someone's got to be deranged Phat clients are gone, now ain't that strange OWA now's my link to Exchange I ain't here to dis' the web client Not tryin' to be rude or be defiant I'm ready to bend, gonna be real pliant Don't wanna go to jail not bein' compliant Web's now the norm, got to perform Cloud Computing is the per-fect storm It does the work - same function and form Brings data to the masses, keeps them informed So here I go don't need no docs Just launch IE or Firefox Wow, look at that - this UI rocks! This dope web client knocks off my socks! I save time typing 'cause of auto-complete And collapsible panels keep my view neat Flex-based flashboards? Man, that's sweet It's got fill layout - totally |_337! New JavaScript engines make it fast This technology's built to last Yo, I'm sold - my test is passed My expectations it has surpassed Hey thick client - C-YA! Wouldn't wanna be ya!

Whenever I heard the term I thought it was an old geek term especially once web became more prolific. And as with most THIN clients in the past they did not have the full abilities of the FAT client which was many times overlooked since often THIN seemed to be preferred. But many people realized that the FAT client was more fulfilling and rewarding. Now THIN client has improved but will never be quite as good as the FAT client but many will continue to overlook that. Go FAT !!

Axton, I think I was more like this: RemedyWeb was the "thick web client" (applet based), (AKA "Fat web client") ARWeb was the "thin web client" (DHTML/Javascript based) WUT was the v4 Windows User Tool (Maybe also called the "FAT client". Note it is fatter than the Fat web client by two more capital sized letters.) You also had to deal with the UUT. (Un*x User Tool). However, you might also have called it the "OMUT" OSF/Motif User Tool too. But as I only used it a few times I really do not want to try to remember it in a negative way. Rather I will choose to focus on the positive memories.... It's dead. Then you also had to deal with the MUT. (Macintosh User Tool, was that v3? or just v2?) Which I would call a "FAt client". (Not quite as fat as the "FAT client", but fatter than the Fat web client by one capital letter.) Did I forget any clients? I thought that there was an ARS Shell out there too, but I can not seem to find it right now. :( [ It is Friday right? :) ] -- Carey Matthew Black BMC Remedy AR System Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
