A CREATIVE admin + a icon that actions a well written script = a single clicked, dumbed down solution; no need to even double click \\\\;P)
Creative management is in need; management in most things lacks creativity. (All raise your hands if ya find this to be true too)
Please know, I'm not insulting your business management skills; I'm insulting the people who have stopped asking questions, and of those that
reside in today's authoritative positions.

You have a choice! Every complaint that can come about has had some sort of a solution, I'm sure every one of those
solutions can be dumbed down with a well written script, put in motion by point and click behavior. Heck, I can get a 2 year old to download
the latest kernel, compile and install, then update the modules for this peripheral and that peripheral in just one single click. (Huh, hmmm, okay 5 year old,
bet I could ;)

Granted, the company start could be rough (initial problem solving, yum yum), but in later use would be cake (yum, yum).

Okay, thats all, thank you AKLUG.
