RE: RE: WAS: Comic Use of Automation. NOW: Remote Use

["Rob Mouser" <rmouser@xxxxxxx>]

Where do I start!

1) Doesn't like the interface (i.e grey scale and ugly unit.)
generally.

2) Get confused navigating the screens.

Perhaps it's the way I've designed the screens but its seems easy
enough
to me.

Many thanks
