Lots of z-fold paper, months to program, weeks
to get reports, servers take up large rooms
Still green screen text but hardware was smaller
and more affordable, slightly easier to program, easy to administer
as processing is central.
Rich graphical user interface, relatively low
cost, productivity increased as did introduction of viruses and
administration nightmare begins!
Benefits of unix-like administration (centralised and secure) and benefits of pc-like performance and rich GUI (gone are the days of the green screen)
Web enabled Thin Client Computing for secure access-on-demand from any device, anywhere.
