I find it interesting that the AS/400 vs. NT topic becomes a 5250 text vs. GUI topic. They really aren't the same thing excepting that we see it that way.

AS/400 can do GUI and text while NT seems to be pretty much GUI-centric. That says to me the AS/400 has broader capabilities, doesn't it? What would happen if the AS/400 green screen actually had a pale gray background? or if there were more fixed-fonts to choose from, even if they were purchased add-ons from 3rd party?

One of the interesting things about gui applications is that most people
who use them a lot rely on keystroke combinations rather than the mouse
to do things they do frequently.
