Web is just a fancy 3270 session

I was just typing a message into a web forum, hit the post reply button,
and while I am waiting I realize, SHEESH, this is just an graphical upgrade
of the 3270 CICS I was running 20 years ago. Except not as fast.
(end quote)

There are other differences:

No viri.
No pop-ups.
No spam.
No anonymous morons.
No evil cookies dropped onto your machine, 3rd party or otherwise.
No audio, just peace and (beep) quiet.

Oh yeah; no graphics, no mouse, no point-and-click.

If the speed bothers you, get a faster connection. I just wonder if
improving the user interface to the point where monkeys can use it is an
evolutionary step forward or backward....
