Apologies if on wrong forum but question is due to using Terminal Services.

All my users now spend 99% of their time on TS and do no work on their local
PC. I have a new user and need new hardware and stumbled upon the 'thin
client' concept which sounds great.

A brief look at the major hardware suppliers showed that only HP have TC
hardware. Surely that cannot be right and any comments on their products in
the Microsoft TS environment.

Um is there a thin client forum?

Wyse and Neoware are the biggest vendors, and Neoware wha recently acquired
by HP. I personally like Wyse because I'm comfortable managing them after so
many years dealing with these devices.

Here's a list, but I haven't updated the vendors in a few months:

You could also install a thin client OS on an older PC, i.e. ThinStation or
PXES.

Very Interesting.

Hm takes me way back to 1978, first job programming IBM System 12 and GREEN
SCREENS.

A rhetorical question. What's the fundamental difference between the green
screen era and today's corporate 'core computing' environment? Answer:
"Color" but only if the company has moved to using thin clients.

I always have a quiet chuckle thinking about the trillions of dollars spent
going in circles under the guise of progress pushed by computer people with
complete ignorance of the past.
