That reminds me of our first mission-critical Linux installation
20 years ago.  The Linux box was used primarily as a file and
print server for Windows desktops in a law office.  The office
manager, a very good typist, complained that the powers that be
required them to use Word for Windows instead of WordPerfect.
She said it cut productivity by at least 50%, having to take
hands off the keyboard to get to the mouse.
