Bob,

You can easily change the colors in your 5250 emulator, can't you?  I 
guess I don't see why you'd want the screens to be blue instead of 
green, it really doesn't solve any problems...  but if you think that it 
will, you certainly can do that!

Personally, I don't buy the idea that users will think any GUI screen is 
"Windows".  None my my users think that their cell phones are running 
Windows, and they are all GUI.  Nobody I know thinks their Playstation, 
XBox or Wii is running Windows.

Frankly, I don't find it difficult at all to get users to think GUI 
applications can be something else besides windows... that's my 
experience, anyway.
