I can attest to the speed of movement. Before Y2K, I saw ladies enter

I can attest to a similar scenario. Where I work I started in freight bill
entry, and driver check in. We used a DOS based product for freight bill
entry which drove Attachmate sessions to enter the freight bills into our
mainframe. I worked at our second largest terminal, and the minimum
requirement there to work in freight bill entry was to be able to enter
fifty freight bills an hour. One can't do that when frequently reaching for
a mouse. After I moved into mainframe operations the company downgraded to
a Windows based freight bill entry program which FTP'd files of freight
bills to our mainframe. I never saw the user interface for the Windows
version, but heard from the billing supervisor I used to work under that it
slowed things down considerably. Thankfully with the AS/400 based system we
recently migrated to freight bill entry is 5250 based.
