...it does nothing.

Lots of them are used in the healthcare realm, too. I work for a company with a bunch of hospitals and we probably have thousands of thin clients (Citrix-based, sadly.) scattered around. I don't like them but I can understand why it's beneficial with HIPAA and whatnot.
Yup, same here. It's infuriating because we'll develop new stuff, and it will work fine on every platform except the asstastic thin clients. They're really not robust enough for anything but data entry.

Edit: We're not exclusively on thin clients, of course. Clinical areas have them, but most offices and support staff have either full desktops or laptops.
