Sounds like a dumb terminal. Guess I'll have to dust off the old VT100.

"Sounds like a dumb terminal."
OLD IBM saying: "If it's not water cooled, it's a terminal"
Sheesh. Everything old is new again.
I can see business deploying "dumb terminals" (Example: VMWare View back-end, or XenServer from Citrix) but they will point at the "local cloud" in the company's datacenter.

Sounds like a dumb terminal. For the same price as a real computer.

Sounds like a dumb terminal.That was my reaction, too. They just re-invented the teletype linked to a central computer. Why do people keep wanting to do that? I want MY data where I control it.
