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. Go FAT !!
