1. Prove it.

2. Are you willing to spring for new paint?

Ok, Paul, since you opened the door, what do you think the boss would say if
I told him I could make twice the number of deliveries in half the time with
a blue truck ?

Let's say you go to work as a driver for a company who uses red trucks in
its delivery fleet. Perhaps you don't like the color red, and you would
prefer a blue truck. What do you think the boss would say to you?

To end users, GUI is much better then green screen. Perception is

reality.

And any other clichés you can think of.

This leads to the questions:
What is the best way to create GUI screens?
CGIDEV?
Websphere?
ROA?
What is cheapest?
Best performance?
Easiest to program with?
Will be around for a while?
