I glossed over one ‘problem’…

I’ll say in advance it wasn’t my idea. I thought - and still do - that it was a really quite dumb way to save a few $.

One of the apps we had to fix screenscraped text to download large reports - 10-20mb back when that was genuinely large.
3270 screen - so you got 2k at a pop.

When a turnaround went from 2ms to 68ms you can imagine that the client was loving life…
