Perhaps. Now try to write it using nothing but the numeric keypad. 😊

Any GUI or web based application can be written to be fully keyboard driven. You can also code them to use the exact same function keys that you are already used to. An example would be F6 to add or when you are on an entry screen you can use F3 or F12 to exit. It's all a matter of application design.

Some programmers belive that the green screen is the best.

Also, there are peole that believe the earth is flat...

And there are people who firmly believe that the web browser is always

the best choice for an UI, without further consideration of the

greater goal to be achieved.

:wq! PoC
