Yes, the "powers that be" are ta da da da......Jim Ratliff or his alter ego, Gandalf!! Mild mannered computer geek by day, skiforum superhero at alternate times!! >:D

The abuse continues....... ;D ;D

Actually, Lynn, I consider the "computer geek" monitor somewhat of an insult (maybe your intent  ??? ??? ).? Computer geeks, IMHO, often see computers as an end and a toy in themselves, often forgetting that computers really only exist to help people accomplish their daily tasks.? They sometimes become a bit self absorbed at the expense of the people (the users of the sytems) that ultimately pay the bills.

As an example, what has been your experience with automated systems in hospitals?? Someone as old as you can certainly remember the manual chart systems as they used to exist. Do the computer systems make it easier for you to do your job?  They certainly automate the billing and insurance stuff, but often at the expense of the front line people that enter the information into the sytems.

Sorry for the hijack, lets get this ski forum back to coffee and expresso machines.

Jim
