Got to jump in.
I think Thick and Thin clients each have their respective places, without a once size fits all, AND to boot, there are thin clients that DO have USB ports.
We (my practice, and the 500 bed comm hosp of which I am CMIO) use a mixture of W/S (thick clients) and thin clients.
For the most part, thin clients are easier to manage from an ISS standpoint, and thick more useful for the technically ept (as opposed to technically inept) user.
So now that I've jumped in, I haven't added a blasted thing to the thread.
