They think you load up front page draw a few nice boxes and thats it job done. I see lots of management types with big ideas my favourite was a "project manager" (I use the quotes as he didnt really manage anything more screw everything up) came to me because he needed some firewalls built and configured quickly because as per usual he had left it rather late. Now to be nice I gave him a realistic building time for them of 8 hours. Its pretty accurate in my experience. He then says what if I get another firewall guy in maybe even a contractor 2 of you can do it in half the time. I did try to explain with only one console port only one of us could work on the kit at once but he didnt seem to understand...
