I believe that a dumb screen is vastly more productive for heads down
data entry than any PC, with or without an emulator, and they don't need
rebooting.   I am sure others feel the same.  I can see absolutely no
benefits from Code/400 - only possible problems.  I have had Code/400
for nearly three years and have not installed it - I am content with
SEU.  With all your influence, can't you persuade Rochester that SEU,
for many, is a much better option, that there is nothing wrong with
green screens for non graphical tasks, and that green screens don't turn
blue!  They should carry on developing SEU.

Best wishes

Rob Dixon
