AJAX

AJAX is a thin client technology? I'm a little confused by this. I'd have placed it firmly in the hybrid category. JulesH 18:55, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BAD DEFINITION

The definition paragraph (the first paragraph ) gives a bad example when it refers to dumb terminals (or even inteligent terminals) as clients. A terminal (dumb or inteligent ) is a simply an IO device. it does not run any programs itself. It does not use services running on a servor computer. Rather it is simply a device for entering and recieving data to and from a computer running a program. If such a system were called Client-Server,the term would not have to have been invented!

client

The seventh word in the definition of "client" is "negate". This word confuses me: surely, a client needs to negotiate (or obtain, or request, or connect with) a service on another network. Is the word negate a typing error?
