AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, that's music to my ears. I have to say that in 2
generations of Data Processing I really feel the RT system is extremely
robust and flexible. I've been working with PeopleSoft for the last 7
years and I've never seen such lazy programming. Their NEW 8.8 doesn't
even bother to alphabatize(sp) the menu listings (so I guess newbies
have to hunt and peck forever until the "LEARN: the system). The RT
authors, on the other hand, really seemed to have tried to do some
common thinking for the users (like pre-filling the Query when going
there from a queue). <br>

masters to change the time fields to hours and also calculate time
estimated minus time worked giving time left? It seems like a small
thing but it really would make sense. Just a suggestion (don't want to
offend anyone's sensitivities). Thanks.

It's really a mistake that the field granularity isn't in seconds. Do
note that RT gets used in a lot of scenarios that aren't project
management. Even scenarios where some of the actors are automated
agents.
But have a look at RT 3.5, where we give you your choice of minutes and
hours ;)

(FWIW It seems fairly common in the legal profession to bill in increments
of hundredths of an hour.)
