RE: HR/Payroll Systems

I spend a lot of time struggling to get a windows interface into 1024 x 768
that has fonts that aren't too small.

The outlook interface takes up lots of space, and it's leaves little room to
actually do stuff.

What a GUI gives you that you cannot achieve with 5250 is screen real
estate. There is only so much you can do with an 80 or 132 column display. A
GUI can be designed to be "keyboard friendly" -- that's up to the
programmer. There is nothing a programmer can do to get more than 3168
characters on a 5250 display.
