I developed for AS400s back in the day and IMHO only the iPad comes close to the consistent UI that data entry workers need and expect. I remember my employer introducing a Windows GUI front end and being told by major customers that they needed to offer green screen entry again or they would buy my employer and make them do it.
- lou1306 8y agoA relative of mine works at a not-so-small place (some 100s of terminals) that used to run AS400s. Years have passed, but It's still green screens galore. He explained me that most of the personnel have memorized the menu so well that they can do their job without hardly ever looking at the screens. Changing that would spell catastrophe in terms of re-training and lost productivity alone.
