Re: What after Year2000

I've recently resubscribed to the list after a 6 month absence and this 
conversation was going when I left.  

I don't understand why GUI and Client Server and AS/400 are mutually 
exclusive.  The AS/400(particularly PPC boxes) seem to me to be a great 
backend for a GUI client.  

As for why someone doing order entry need a PC...well if someone hasn't 
ported lynx to the AS/400 they should(use it to check on packages 
regularly from a Unix box) and and as for art work I'm not clear what 
order entry staff would be doing with that sort of thing.
