The lack of rapid growth in the use of simulation modeling is due, in part, to the cost of many simulation software packages in addition to the difficulty of learning them and the complexity of developing even the simplest of models of business systems with them. This paper discusses a modern version of GPSS (General Purpose Simulation System) known as WebGPSS, which was designed to overcome these problems as well as satisfy the special interests and needs of the business student. Students working with WebGPSS quickly see that it provides business value, allows sharing of information for decision making, is practical, and promotes the idea that simulation is fun
