Re: Why NOT the web?

Rob:

I do web programming, they've been shown it.  Their decision to move
away is to move away from their entire IT setup.  Including me I
guess.

I even showed them screen shots of Joe's product and described it to them.

They think that they are going to completely outsource their IT department.  

Me, I've been outsourced before by cheap labor/wintel machines.  I
bought a new F150 last time.  :-)  I'm still there too.

Joe, if I stick my 5250 screens in a product like yours, then I still
get heads down data entry that I like.  But if I rewrite from ground
up in .NET, I've got to do all that stuff over.  If their goal was
simply to be in the browser, perhaps I would have been consulted, but
there is something else at work here.  Something.... evil?
