Howard, Howard, Howard,

I guess you haven't been keeping up with current events (tongue in cheek!)

The "users" come in two flavors:
1) I know what I'm doing and I just want to get my job done (5250)
2) Gee whiz that looks snappy! How many hours can I burn putzing around here so
I look busy and can keep my job?  After all, I can always blame the computer for
any delays in efficiency or my own stupidity.
