Oopsy! Phone conversations.

I just talked to someone a couple days ago, and he didn't like the term "server" for something that didn't need honkin big disks. (Well, okay, so it's serving data from a database on another machine. So what? If it goes down, the rest of the system still can't see that data. That is a server.)

So I started calling it a "thin" server and he seemed to like that term.

Today I got email about the "fin" server. Ah, the power of language.
