One of the things I noticed when visiting a HUGE hospital (Cleveland Clinic, which hosts one of the busiest and largest surgery wards in the world. 400 or so surgical operations planned to run on the day I visited) was how vastly easier it was for nurses to use the text-based terminals then it was for them to use the Windows GUI.

Heh, last time I peeked over the shoulder of a nurse handling reception, she was apparently using a Windows NT box - but doing everything via a terminal emulator window in the middle of the screen, running a text-based app (looked like it might have been accessing an IBM mainframe).
