    Well they make a lot of sense if you can’t trust your clients.

    My high school’s computer lab were all thin clients. I was told each cost like 20$ (wouldn’t be surprised if he exaggerated the cheapness a bit), and the server was being used for more than just the thin clients, anyway.

        Huh. My first rule of IT was “No, I will not give you free tech support during my time off from work”.

        There was an exception if I was sleeping with you at the time. 😂
