We appreciate it when you change the Lab Home Pages and delete the technical shortcuts because:
a. The new Home pages allow quick updates to NFL scores.
b. Shortcuts just clutter nice wallpaper.c. It’s fun to watch staff attempt to find MSDS sheets
without shortcuts.d. It’s job security for the I.T. staff changing them back to
