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!
Your days are numbered, I guarantee ya
From Sunnyvale to South Korea
Fire up that browser – we’ll B-M-C ya!

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 !!

No, see, that's no good beacuse it infers the existence of a "smart"
client.
You know, a client that will fill out most of the fields on a form
for you, get you coffee, ask your boss for a raise and tell you it
can't open the pod bay doors now.

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? :) ]
