Re: cost estimate for a GUI pilot

I suppose i'm on the "weird" side of the scale, since i'm using an IBM
Model M keyboard on my PC and said keyboard is older than me...

Granted, I had to unplug my external keyboard and mouse and store it

under

my desk to get used to it
I hate that my second laptop has a misfunctioning keyboard and I have

to

use an external keyboard. What a pain!

An expert 5250 user does not want to touch the mouse. The web

interface

can be used with keyboard alone, even if that is hard for users without
5250 experience.

this is a misunderstanding of GUI, most of the time a GUI user will

have

his/hers mouse in his/hers right
hand it is much more efficient to use the TAB that requires the left

hand

emulates the behavior of the 5250, for example: capture the + key and

+

appears at the end of the number...

I installed a nice Windowsy interface for one guy and he couldn't

see

it

no matter how big we made the font.
He was using client access and had his sessions full screen in a

1280x800

monitor. He also was best friends with the owner of the company so

when he

complained we all heard about it.

I can't remember the name of those data entry stations that used to

write

data to 8" diskettes..

But anyhow some of those "gals" were amazing - as you say keying

two

pages
in advance...

I'd like to see how that works on a web-app if at all..!!!

PS..I've found it if you want to be nostalgic..

Does "type ahead" work good?
We have an order entry gal that keys 1 or 2 screens ahead. She's

quick.
