Re: GUI necessary?

[Don <dr2@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Roger,

Yeah it's a strong statement, but for a heads down keying environment or
shop floor that doesn't have a need for all the nicities of windows, etc.,
etc. ,etc....yeah, a green screen is probably faster...and cheaper...and 
lot less maintenance...

Roger, I'ld much rather put a cheap green screen in a shop/warehouse floor
than a expensive PC...  

As for Quicken, yeah, it's good stuff...but, think of the keystrokes...  I
want to put in the state code for Virginia...  on a green screen I just
enter VA...on a GUI...it point, click, drag, click, scroll.......at least
5 functions for most states....:)

Sorry dude...
