RE: HR/Payroll Systems

<Soapbox>
Why do The Users assume that an application with a GUI and a mouse is better than a green-screen application? Salesmanship! And, perhaps, poor green-screen design. A properly constructed green-screen application is much faster for pure data entry than a GUI. Maybe it's because the system only needs to ship about 2K (that's 2000) bytes of data down the line to refresh the screen!

A company that I used to work for went through a couple of iterations of
trying to get away from the payroll/HR package that we were using.
The second attempt, HR says, "We don't like the DOS (green screens)
system, we want a GUI system" after reviewing a few GUI systems "Why do
they take so much mouse work, I don't want to use a mouse all the time for
data entry". Go figure.
