Why do GUIs jump around like a demented terrier while starting up? Am I on my own?

Bad GUIs

I hate moving stuff, especially when stuff is moved for no reason.

But my favourite and the one which needed a restore was great.

I wiped an accounting system.

Why?

Because it used non standard GUI.

I accidently went into the wipe system option so clicked no. But the program yes no boxes were all swapped over, so I clicked yes, brilliant design there Pegasus, I did have a go at you for that. A right shonky piece of software.

I so wanted to bypass their importer by directly inserting transactions but I was told not worth the risk, use their ANAL and TRAN files.

I still think directly inserting is safer than letting a programmer test on a system.

BTW Our system used a DBF compatable client server system.
