MOTM

I have to agree with Scott's review and add these other comments.

I initially saw a list of modules on the lower part of the screen and 
tried to drag and drop them onto the cabinet rows. Nope. I then tried 
to resize the list of modules to see more on the screen at once. 
Nope. I then tried to resize the cabinet rows. Nope. I then tried to 
add or delete module rows. Nope. Eventually I clicked on the little 
negative signs above each cabinet row and saw the popup for 
installing modules. Why would you click on a negative sign to add 
something? I then installed numerous 2U modules into 1U wide spaces. 
How would I physically achieve that?

Sorry to whoever wrote this, but speaking as the QA guy, this is 
going into the trash.
