People seem to have forgotten how to do things like mail merge and such--
now they want to turn everything into a web application, or since "everyone"
knows $wordprocessor and $spreadsheet, the expensive engineers, project
managers, and managers/directors are doing jobs that should be done by
administrative assistants.  I can't believe that's an efficient use of
salary.
