No.

It's much, much worse.  I've never blown a disk drive on my 5250
terminal.  If for some reason it does die, I've got a spare that cost me
$50.  I can replace the terminal in 20 seconds.

If I blow up my OpsNav workstation, all those cute little GUI-only
functions are lost for as long as it takes to configure the PC, load
Windows and reinstall OpsNav.  Of course, I could have a $1000 backup PC
that sits around doing nothing.  Personally, I prefer the $50 dumb tube.

GUI tubes are great, but leave my system configuration capabilities
green screen, please.  Or at the very least, have the stuff browser
based, so that I can access it from any PC with a browser.  Thick
clients don't make sense for system administration.
