RE: Character-based (Green screen)/twinax systems?

I would ask yourself:
What is your 5 year plan?

Will these users still be running straight green screen applications in 5
years?
Will they start using the corporate email?
Will they start using Fex Ex, UPS, or other shipping software?
Will they start using browser based applications?

I really don't see any point to a single purpose 5250 only machine.

Ask yourself this question: If you were that user and you already had a
device capable of web browsing, word processing, Excel, Email, etc., would
you consider it a divine upgrade to get a 5250 only terminal?
