I know that and you know that. Users mostly only care about what they
see on their screen. They don't understand when things don't work the
same somewhere else.
I've dealt with faculty (computer faculty!) that do their lesson plans
and whatnot at home on their computer not connected to a network,
possibly using older software, then can't understand why everything
doesn't work the same when they are in class putting on some
demonstration.
This is getting off topic now as I'm talking more about general sys
admin stuff now.
