Cool,
we let the strippers thin out through attrition, didn't replace retirees, etc..
because we thought we could teach mac users printing easier than teaching printers "a dozen kinds of software, etc..." but in retrospect, the trend headed toward less application intensive work with workflow introduction and I think your way was probably better.
Funny thing is, at the end of the day, we ended up staffed and proceedured the same way!
