When comparing to amber/green screen interfaces, hatred of the mouse is odd. Sure, for a simple search interface the text interface was fine-- search field, arrow down through results. But for anything more complex you end up having to tab between a dozen or more fields. ERP interfaces we're especially tedious in this regard, so the author's nostalgia for the "solved" problems of that age aren't completely warranted, and the mouse is at worst just as bad.
