[comp.windows.x] Ergonomics of X terminals

mikem@telxon.UUCP (Michael Molnar) (09/28/90)

Our department is seeking justification for converting its ASCII
terminals over to X-Terminals.  Our past requests for X-terminals were
not approved.  The reasoning was: "Do you really need them?  Will they
really increase productivity?  What's the pay-off?"

Would anyone like to share their experiences with the change in 
productivity which he or she achieved by switching an ASCII terminal based
software group to an X-terminal base?  If possible, please detail
with (1) the actual cost savings achieved by the conversion, (2) the
type of applications used (please designate if they are X-only applications),
(3) initial reasons for the conversion, and (4) the hardware environment
for the X-window users.

Please send your responses directly to me.  I will summarize them and post
to this group, if you give permission.  Thank you.
