RE: Is Ops Navigator slow for others too?

Well I think it's time for you all green-screen eaters to change your point of view and enter into the second millenium, hey guys it's graphic era, you all look like those people who are still listening to baseball game on radio instead of watching it in colors with all the information you need right there on the screen.  And this is intended for IBM too!!  

I say more graphical access and give up the green screens!!!  Anyway, SEU is no more updated, hear that? it's dead and gone!!  what is the future of SDA and RLU?? with CODE400 you can say goodbye to them... 

It is my humble opinion, if some of you disagree, I respect your opinions too.  All I wanted to do is to open the eyes of some of you to the new era of GUIs on AS400.  It's profitable for all of us.  In terms of saving time and money spent on application development and technical support.

Well I have some bad news for you if you don't like Ops Nav.
I heard rumors when I was in Rochester a month ago, They said that by V5R1
every thing will be in Ops navigator and from then on out no updates would
be done to green screens.
