When I set up my new fast computer here at work I took my old workstation out and put it on a table. It was just sitting there. Our pilot has a OLD POS computer in his office that we use for his email and for shipping. We have the FedEx software on it.

I am setting up my old workstation for him to use now. I am installing the FedEx software on it. You would think FedEx software would be easy to set up. You would be wrong. I have had a string of 6 emails to FedEx just to get a link to download the FREE software. Then I have to jump through hoops to get our address book transfered over to the new system. Setting up Microsoft Office and Outlook Email was a breeze compared to this.

Easy on computers depends on your background and point of view.

To the programmers the hoops you had to jump through were normal and easy.
As a user it was no so much so.
Unless forced, programmers do not consider user interface only basic functionality.
At least that has been my experience.

The process was not overly difficult. It was just a PAIN to get the link to the software. They make it worse than setting up some very expensive software. The software if FREE. It only lets someone ship a package with FedEx. It does not do anyyhing else. They have it locked down tighter than Adobe CS.

There was a supposition about a month ago that was claiming marshal law in section III on Oct. 5th.
Makes you wonder

Maybe if they lock down the capitol and keep the congressmen in there and don't let them out until they actually do something like pass a budget everyone will be happy.
