For our product doing a RESTORE (and REJECT) is a trivial inconvenience. Our canned maintenance JCL contains RESTORE, REJECT, RECEIVE and APPLY, in that order. In other words, the process is fully automated by a single job that runs, on most systems, in less than one minute. <snip> Does this remind any one of the Automatic vs. Manual transmission arguments of yesteryear? If I don't have a clutch, and a shifter lever to horse around with while turning the wheel, talking on a hand-held cell phone, fiddling with the turn-signals, and adjusting the volume on the radio, I ain't happy. And what are you gonna do with it when the battery dies? You can't push start them automatics no more.
