  Thin client - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A thin client is a computer (client) in client-server architecture networks which has little or no application logic, so it has to depend primarily on the central server for processing activities.
Thin client hardware is generally cheaper because it does not contain a disk, application memory, or a powerful processor.
Thin client hardware, whether dedicated or simply older hardware that has been repurposed via cascading, is useless or of little interest outside a client-server environment.

 Thin Places
Thin places mean little to those who are convinced that nothing is real that cannot be identified and quantified.
Interestingly enough, most of the thin places I have experienced are places of majestic beauty which were discovered centuries ago by the First Nations people who first recognized and honored their holiness.
Thin places are all around us and they may lead us into a closer sense of God=s presence and guidance.

 Solar Energy Technologies Program: Polycrystalline Thin Film
The "thin film" term comes from the method used to deposit the film, not from the thinness of the film: thin-film cells are deposited in very thin, consecutive layers of atoms, molecules, or ions.
Thin films are unlike single-crystal silicon cells, which must be individually interconnected into a module.
As with other thin films, advantages include the savings of material, monolithic device design, use of inexpensive substrates, and manufacturing processes that are low temperature and possible over large areas.

 Thin (Client Computing, that is) Is In
Thin clients use less RAM and slower processors, and don't have their own drives, because applications and data are stored on the server.
Thin "intelligent" desktop devices are optimized for fast graphical display processing and "thin" software enhances the functionality of the desktop device--together, creating a computing solution that is easier to support and manage centrally.

 What is Thin Client Computing ?
Instead, applications are executed on powerful servers while the Thin Client simply presents the screen display and gives you a way to operate the keyboard and mouse.
A Thin Client need only have sufficient power to render the display of your user session, therefore it does not need to be replaced or upgraded as new software and hardware versions are released.
Thin Client/Server Based Computing is  defined by the fact that applications are executed on dedicated servers while the desktop device only needs to provide the display.

 CRN | News | Microsoft To Launch Windows XP Thin Clients
Microsoft is set to debut two Windows XP thin clients, one for low-end PCs for task-oriented workers, and another for mobile workers, according to sources.
The vendor is developing the Windows XP-based thin clients, code-named Eiger and Monch, to make it easier for system builders and partners to deploy pre-packaged thin-client solutions instead of customizing software on their own or using ISVs, sources said.
But sources said the thin clients are not low-end versions of Windows but rather alternative operating systems for customers that choose to use thin clients and a server-centric computing model rather than full PCs.
