What kind of market is there for a working, currently supported GUI?
Basically, if you all banded together, could you commission somebody to
recreate and keep up a new Admin GUI that's relevant to the current version
of TSM, that doesn't have the weaknesses of the Web interface?

Or maybe somebody like Lindsay Morris (who already has a development group
familiar with TSM) can develop a Admin GUI product fairly easily?  Do you
think there are enough GUI users who
a) Are willing to pay for a license for this GUI?
b) Are willing to pay some sort of maintenance cost to keep it current?
