Does the term "thin client" sound familiar? :)

Even when a manufacturer had a terminal, some didn't bother with the 
additional CPU and just used the same one used to run the display.  
Before I had diskette drives, I ran an old Beehive editing terminal 
with both a printer and a dual cassette (paper-tape substitute kind) 
deck.  I could do word processing of a sort on it; was it a computer? 
Seems so to me.  It had an 8008 CPU and  shift-register memory.  I 
coiuldn't print with it, but that was my shortcoming--I didn't have 
the proper printer for it--it had a printer port and a "print" key.

Cheers,
