Gary,
If you compare the size of the one requisite browser with all of the
thick-client apps totalled up, I think you'll see that the size of the
browser is pretty thin, after all.
However, this is a completely moot point. Everyone has a browser (if not
multiple browsers) on their PC or other device already. So the size of
the browser is really a non-issue, since it's going to be there anyway.
Also, when you update applications that run in a browser, you don't have
to update them on each PC. Not sure if you've ever written applications
that run on PCs, and had to update every PC each time there was a
change, and had to worry about some being out of date for a while until
updates were applied, and all of the other complications of thick-client
software, but I have... it's not fun. And is not an issue with
browser-based software.

A colleague at another company once said "If you think a Browser is
a
thin client, think again. If you don't believe me just look at the size
of a web browser. You'll see it is pretty thick!"
