Is the 5250 emulator the main reason to make our favourite machine look obsolete??

I am not too sure about that... The "green screen" part of it does not bother me at all... It is the way it is, it has always been like that and it is hardly going to get any different. What I think is terribly old fashioned and dated, not to mention ugly, is the set of buttons in Client Access. Have these changed at all since the very first version of CA or PCS? Which part of this window looks worse? The black/green part of it or the buttons just above?

Well, I have yet to find a GUI attempt from IBM (that includes Lotus products) that does not look severely unattractive, old fashioned, un-user-friendly, etc...

My point here is just to say that if buttons, icons and what not are being added to a Green Screen world, they might as well be well designed and look good.


Anyone interested in joining the Church of Good Looking Icons and Buttons in A Green Screen World ?


G4!
