Subject:Re: To GUI or Not to GUI From:Mary McWilliams Johnson <mary -at- SUPERCONNECT -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 5 Jun 1998 12:19:44 -0500
I fail to see the problem. GUI is an accepted term and used when discussing
matters like "designing the GUI interface." Everyone knows what GUI is, and
I can't see that it's a dated term at all. I'd say, stop agonizing over it.
Cordially,
