Re: admin usage

I have always had the notion that the admin interface is more about
adding data to the system quickly rather than being the system itself,
the admin interface is very powerful indeed, but I think you may have
better customization/simplification options on your own and reserve
the admin interface for certain tasks (such as adding data like
inventory part numbers) that are not your daily use case o central
functionality.
