Beware of the LIMS, Assembly Required, Batteries not Included...

I have noticed tons of job postings from customers who have purchased a LIMS who need developer help apparently to make it work. Just take a look at this link to LIMS Developer Jobs. I would have thought that when you purchase a LIMS that it would come pre-assembled and not in pieces such that you need a developer to make it work. I guess the box it comes in should say "WARNING! Assembly Required, batteries not included".
