“So is windows so why then do they use 1960’s green screens. Every study done shows a GUI interface increases productivity by 25-27% so this guys cripple their own companies.”

I have to take exception with that statement. GUIs slow down data entry. Especially for heads-down data-entry applications and warehouse/distribution center automation applications.

For increased data-entry productivity and warehouse automation apps, I’ll take a green-screen 5250 application over a GUI windoze application any day.

You could do it like a lot of government sites and maintain a vast network of XP boxes just to run a telnet session. :-)
