Re: Etiquette Question: Is Fat Client offensive?
I totally disagree. The thin client is simply unable to do everything you can do with the fat client. It's a great tool for those not needing all functionality of the WUT, but it's just not as powerful as the WUT. Andy L.

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?

Re: Etiquette Question: Is Fat Client offensive?
Since '95 I don't recall Remedy ever referring to it as the FAT client. 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.

Re: Etiquette Question: Is Fat Client offensive?
never heard or used the term fat client - when ARWeb first came out it was billed as the thin client in contradistinction to the thick client WUT. Back in the good old days of the UNIX-only server version, there was an ASCII client. Otherwise known as the anorexic client. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor:rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: Where the Answers Are
Re: Etiquette Question: Is Fat Client offensive?
I'm not sure if the user tool was ever actually named the 'fat client' by the vendor...that has always just been a reference to its footprint on the client, vs the thin footprint of the web client...I typically use the term 'native client' when referring to the wut and web client when referring to the Mid-Tier...but that's just me...:) _ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Meyer, Jennifer L Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2009 2:54 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Etiquette Question: Is Fat Client offensive? ** I've suddenly realized that WUT stands for windows user tool.

I expect most of the folks who don't move up to 7.5 will have to refer to the Admin Tool as the True Windows Administration Tool to differentiate it from the Developer Studio.

In case you run into it, you'll also see folks use WAT for Windows Administration Tool. Now that it's called Developer Studio, that acronym will most likely fade away. -David J.

Jennifer, The desktop client has been referred to by many names over the years. WUT is actually an old name that has been around for a long time. Probably was used much more in the past than fat/thin client. --Original Message-- From: Meyer, Jennifer L To: Arslist ReplyTo: Arslist Subject: Etiquette Question: Is Fat Client offensive? Sent: Apr 16, 2009 4:53 PM ** I've suddenly realized that WUT stands for windows user tool. When did we stop saying fat client and thin client or mid tier? Are fat and thin outmoded with today's networking capabilities, or simply offensive with today's caloric-challenged society? Someone please answer definitively, because WUT threw me for a loop for a couple of weeks, and I felt really dumb. I'm seriously confused at the loss of the fat client.
