The terminal menu driven interfaces were archaic but a dream. You had help, everything was explained in manuals, they rejected invalid outputs. Now everything is close eyes, press enter and pray it works. Siemens ISDX was what I worked with. To build a new corporate extension was something like option 5-2-1-1 ext code Y 2-4-7 and then 9 to confirm. Simpler times. |

MicroCenter (by me, at least) still uses what looks like some terminal interface for checkout and such in stores.
It's a riot cause it's all young kids and all the keyboards are RGB gamer ones. I've never seen a faster checkout at a register.
