Oh, this is not mine as in mine. Its a piece of software we bought in. I did all the research, the demo system was impressive enough, I knew this was what a lot of the larger companies were using. I even phoned many users up and down the country and they were not scathing. It really did seem like the best option at the time, and to be fair with enough AutoHotKey, it is usable.
