Hi, Thank you so much for your replies! I am so glad I asked!
An idea came to us yesterday - to provide CompuServe/AOL-style BBS interface. I think maybe the world has gotten too far with GUI and it's time to consider judicious roll back to CUI 😄 Simpler CUI might offer quicker response, rapid development, accessibility for the visually impaired, and so on. Where visuals are truly needed, we can probably launch a web page, etc, to augment the main textual interface. (or embed a Terminal with a web page) In fact, the Bloomberg Terminal, so ubiquitously found in banks, seem to have a partially CUI interface.
