And THAT is the last nail for PH systems. Sure there are still PH systems
out there, but you watch.... in time (few years) they will be forced to go
the Visual way, to cater for these newer more mobile technologies. That is
the fact of life. People don't have time to wade through training courses,
manuals, Reflections (ugh!) and other text based off shoots. People want to
press a button and see the end result. PH, COBOL, etc just cannot do that.
