I was referring to the foll. from your post (it doesn't have to be
this way).

have a real problem that really hurts them: too much of the software 
work that they
want done requires too high a level of skill sets.  They cannot get 
applications written
fast enough because they cannot find or cannot afford the kind of 
wizards needed to
write such applications.  They need to get things set up so that they 
don't need so
many wizards.  Please note that someone who is less than a wizard does not
deserve to be called "dumb"; there's plenty of room for being quite 
intelligent
without being a system programming wizard.
