I must play with these things some time and see if it is possible to simple them up so that they can be used single user. One of the major problems I've encountered in computing is getting bigger. A PC and few programs is allright, then you grow a bit and things get tricky and you go Small Office and that's a BIG change and then you find you have to go ERP and its nigh on impossible to change - god knows how many companies are trapped in MS hell because they simply cannot get the data locked in documents into an ERP and function at the same time.
