How about if you don't have to type the information in, but you have to type in
a name or MR#, go through several screens searching for the appropriate
information, then wait during the search (4-5 seconds per search normally),
then choose the correct information (up until now you're paid for nothing
you've done), and then the report itself averaged 30 seconds in length?

Doing this as many times a day as it would take to get even 1000 lines would
almost double the time taken to type it. Trust me....I know. :(
