Re: 24 x 80 is too small.

   Very true Rob. GUI applications have their place in the busines= s world
   and so does colored text (red, green, yellow, etc.) displays a= s well.
   Some operations are enhanced by graphical representations and some = are
   muddied by them.

   For heads down data entry,= good old "green screen" is
   marvelous...especially running under the great = stability of os400. For
   statistical analysis, GUI is probably a better= percentage option to view
   your data in the most readable and informat= ive manner.

   You can make a case for each within= many different sectors of business
   and choosing the right answer depends n= ot on ego, nor on technical
   craving but rather what is best for the si= tuation at hand.

   That being said, I tried the DS= 4 size on the DDS and boy that is one
   tough point size to read!!!!!!!!&nbsp= ;

   I don't think this is what he = was saying,  GUI vs. green screen.  I
   think
   he was saying tha= t, instead of shoving more data on the screen perhaps
   you
   should redesi= gn your screen.

   You talk like ther= e's something WRONG with Twinax. Like a "slick" GUI
   screen is somehow in= herently better than a text-based one that does the
   same job with less (= and cheaper) hardware. Like there's no real
   difference
   between a 3487-HC= (color, 132 columns, mouse support) and some dreadful
   old 5251.
