There is one person who is going around saying that installing a system will be drag and drop. If it really ever does come to that

We'll still be needed to design backup, security, and customization.

If a drag-and-drop installation works, how can you consider it a loss? Do you think things should be kept more complicated than necessary just so more of us can have jobs?

Actually, we're almost there. Isn't IBM still offering (for a fee) the service of "restore these tapes and IPL"?
