Bring back Scotti. Also, Tori sucked. Grant and Scotti are all you need. Tori is a tool, good for comic relief when you need a doofus to eat a chili pepper, and Kari was just T&A.

Right idea, but we have two tabs, two laptops, two phones, etc. Everything that is fixed, yes, hardwired.

And my problem with that is they they must know that they're underskilled hacks. And they sit there, smirk and headwobble, and then claim you didn't provide Requirements or Do The Needful, and YOUR ass gets chewed out when they fail.
