When I was in College (can you believe it?) I got a job on campus in the basement of the library processing in books. I loved it. You had a stamp and ink-pad and a magnetic security strip and once you got going, could process a couple of shelf fulls of books in good time (that is, if you didn't get caught up in reading one or two). So, about 3 or 4 months into it, I trained a new person to help and after two weeks, he stood up and said, "I can't do this anymore - I wouldn't give this to my kids for punishment." And, he left.
Point of it is, yes, product entry is terrible and punishing, but you can get a system going and when you do, will surprise yourself. I'm still all about getting together 3 or 4 people in a hotel conference room for a day's worth of work, the next time I have over a thousand products to load. At this point, that would be a good problem to have, come to think of it...
