Rich fat client

Sometimes we use terms that we just assume everybody understands.  I was recently at at bank looking at how they manage their client relationships.  Conversation turned to the difference between applications that are delivered via the web and applications “on the desktop”.

“From what you are saying it looks like a rich fat client” the developer said.  The banker looked at him blankly.  In his world a rich fat client is someone he has a personal relationship with.
