Okay, from the administrator end...IC, at least it's UI's suck for multiple

I'm (seriously) very interested, if you can come up with a better
interface for IC.
You need to think about the following:
Multiple locations.
Multiple accounts.
-Do not think about backwards compatiblity; this can be solved.

Uhm, that calms me down a bit; but I am still paranoid, my solution is
going on 600000 CDs today, so it would be a real disaster if something
silly like this "File IC_template not found" on some machines; or any
other kind of error that I forgot handling for, due to that I'm not
really an AS guy. -I've seen commercial AppleScript installers, and I've
never got any of those to work; this is what's making me paranoid
(together with text-paths). ;)
Love,
Jens
