With the tools available now, you should be able to stay on the platform while providing a UI that looks nothing like a "green screen".
Now, if I could just get my "mature users" to move over to the browser... They would rather press 3 Fn keys, field exit and F5 than click a button to release an order. 😊

Subject: Re: Costco still on IBM i?
Like many others Pete, Costco have been attempting to move off the platform to one degree or another for 12+ years. Like most others, it hasn't worked that well so far as I can tell.
I wonder if the interface you saw is mostly a skin? Certainly, in my local store, the green screen is front and center as always.
