I agree 110%! As someone who worked on a school netowkr where they invested thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) on things like Gigabit ethernet conenctions, broadband access and four servers including a web server I can safely say that I know enough of the network manager that there is NO way he would employ thin client computing on that LAN.
Please excuse me: I don't see from the argument above how that conclusion is reached - it seems to me to be a total non-sequitur. Could you explain in a little more detail? Also, why do the terms "thin client" and "managed service" seem to have become quasi-synonymous in this thread? We supply thin-client managed services, but there is no reason why a school technician should not deploy a thin-client self-managed system, or why another company should not offer a "fat-client" managed service. The two terms have entirely separate meanings. Michael Brown Fen Systems Ltd.
