99% my problem with it.  i don't like being locked into that method of admining,
but hey, it's just something new to get used to.  i just need to learn all the
command line stuff so i don't have to use smit.  but on the other hand, a
complete AIX newbie like myself can very easily admin AIX, even though i don't
know what the hell i'm doing, so it's not all bad. ;)
