If my memory serves me right, distributed computing was the advent of smaller computers (back then often called mini computers like DEC Vax or IBM AS/400, but those were more like smaller mainframes, still using dumb terminals as frontends. But you’re right in saying that the original client/server had all of the UI and business logic on a very fat client - and the server only served the data over very low bandwith networks.
