We can ask our UI experts how best to do the ? mark, but overall +1 to
this approach.  Yet ...

There are three good ways from here:

* Leave page as-is, then ? => link to wizard
* Make page a wizard, with a link off to "I know what I want"
* Two-boxes in the middle:  "Help me figure out what I need" ... "I know
what I want" that link out to appropriate pages
