Joe,

With your revitalization work, you're probably in a great position to draw
some comparisons between 5250 and Web applications.  You might try hitting
the PageUp key on the 5250 screen about 100 times and track the elapsed CPU
time.  Then do whatever corresponds to PageUp in the browser 100 times and
track the CPU time.  My guess is that the difference is vast.

I wonder if IBM and it's customer really know how much more CPU time a Web
application takes.  It might make a difference in pricing if this kind of
data were published.

BTW, your TCO points are excellent.  Thanks.

Nathan.
