Sometimes i just get tired of hearing how wondurful some of this "new tools"
are, and how terrible the old "legacy" tools are. Have yet to hear that the
new tools provide a better, more reliable, more economical way to do a job.
I hear how expensive they are to implement, how expensive they are to
maintain and in the long run how ureliable they are. 
[Modified] Ahhh but that's because the people that are trying to convert a
legacy system to a GUI system have no f&^%&% idea what they're doing. 
 
PowerHouse is not perfect but it is a great tool.
[Modified] I never said otherwise.

Add to that the current PowerHouse Web and you have a great way to expose
all those applications that have been so reliable to the WWW. You can click
to PhWeb all you want. Yes we do have to get our butts out of our
comfortable chairs and learn a little Java and a little JavaScript and HTML
but you can be the person that saves your company millions and in the end,
end up with something to serve your CUSTOMERS BETTER.
[Modified] In the end (IMHO) the facts are customers pay the bills and put
food on the table. If they want GUI, they will get it.
