Definition (from www.whatis.com)
Thin clients are PC's designed to be centrally-managed, configured with
only essential equipment, and devoid of CD-ROM players, diskette drives,
and expansion slots (and therefore lower in cost).

The pendulum has reached it's peak and now going back to (smart)
terminals, which is actually what we want our readers to use : low
maintenance, no installing and very secure.

Has anyone thought about implementing thin clients technology in their
library ?
