Re: Moving from Green screen app to GUI because of push back from younger employees?

We've 'modernized' many of our applications-- some because we wanted to, and some because we inherited some GUI apps during an acquisition. Both work.

We're in the process of hiring another computer operator. We've been telling the candidates that for most functions they'll be using the 'command line interface.' Sounds a lot 'classier' than 'green screen.' (:

train them if the look/feel was something they were more familiar with.
I'm just curious if others have run into this as a reason to 'modernize'
their applications.

Thanks,
