Re: Moving from Green screen app to GUI because of push back from younger employees?

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In another post I mentioned exactly that, and in fact offered a link to 
a web page demonstrating exactly your suggestion of a web page.  As I 
said, in my opinion this does not have to be an either/or decision.  
Finding a transition that actually works is, to my mind, a big 
improvement to these 90-day switch-overs that go on with errors and 
disasters for the next ten years and longer.

The iSeries gives us a pathway that works.  It does not have to be a 
clash of titans, egos, and budgets.

For instance, I am convinced the future of automobiles is with 
self-drive cars.  Does that mean we have to all switch over by Labor 
Day?  Of course not.  As to green screen v. web interface? Face it, the 
day of the desktop computer is setting.  Its already old technology.
