Ah.  So you don't use OS/400.

See, this argument doesn't hold for operating systems, or for canned
office applications.  If the system is so fragile that I have to do
everything manually, then it's too fragile for end users.

I've written enough operating systems in my day.  Heck, we had to write
our own device drivers for our first Winchester disk drive (eight
inches, and a whopping five megabytes!).  Today, I want the disk to
insert and the software to install.  I want to spend my time writing
business applications, not configuring Digital Certificate Managers.
