Don,
You're absolutely right. The problem, in many cases, has nothing to do
with how functional 5250 screens are. It has to do entirely with how
the users perceive them.
That's not true 100%, of course. There are places where pictures,
graphs, etc, are useful in business, and having a GUI screen makes those
work much better.
However, there are many circumstances ("key 150 time cards") where it
doesn't matter whether it's green screen or GUI from a functional
perspective. But, to the user's perception, it makes all the difference
in the world. And I haven't found any way to combat that perception,
aside from providing GUI, modern, display interfaces.

No Paul, you supposed to go GUI...it's politically correct, it looks nice

has overmarketed the world to believe is what's supposed to be the
standard....oh and btw, you'll probably have to hire an additional person or
two because it may be slower than your green screen if you're going to make
that large payroll in time... :)
