Hello Jochen, thanks for the refresher on Btx. I've been in discussions recently which suggest that a return to text-dominated presentation may see a comeback due to the issues you site. When folks want to get down to business using focused applications they need information and they are not concerned --indeed, they would prefer to avoid-- graphic frills that consume bandwidth, hence, additional time per view. We may see this philosophy come to fruition in certain areas as more wireless apps become prevalent due to their sparser bandwidth characteristics (than landline broadband) on the channel.
