Back around 1999 I worked for a company and one of the jobs we had was to replace a financial data entry system which was written in BASIC and run on an aging mini comupter. Access to it was done via a terminal and it was a text based interface. The reason for replacing the system was part of the company's Y2K plan and in preperation for the Euro. The company wanted everything to run under Windows so it had to be a native app with a GUI. When we deployed it there was a flood of compaints. Most of them were about the speed of data entry and the fact that the old keyboard shortcuts they were all used to had stopped working. We tried to fix as many of the issues that we could but there was only so much that we could do. As it was a contract job we had to work with the UI the company wanted and as it was a contract job, once the bugs were fixed we couldn't make any other changes.
