Without wanting to sound as if I am completely negative, I could not disagree with you more. I am of course only looking at this from the perspective of our industry, and more time is wasted playing with the g-d forsaken mouse and clicking on buttons than anything else I have ever seen.I entirely agree. People tend to assume that if they are busy playing with the mouse and clicking, then they are being productive when in fact they are using a very inefficient interface. However, I feel that this is an argument that we cannot win. The market place will ignore anyone who doesn't pander to its requests.
Surely the way round this is to enable the function keys in web pages so that users can operate in "5250" mode in their browser window if they wish. Maybe, if they start with pointing and clicking, they will learn there is an easier and more productive way. I have done this and am for ever the optimist!
