When Banner was brought in to replace the custom apps on VMS at the
University it was understood upfront that everything was going to
change the users were the one's that would have to adapt.

Compare that to where I worked in 1980 where I was tasked with
developing a microcomputer based data entry system to get the
"keypunch" people off the mainframe to free it up for production
and development work.  The first requirement was that what I was
to develop had to present itself to the users exactly like what
they had been using on the Univac-1100.
How times change.
