As at least one of the agitators who first joined Duane in an effort
to make this happen back at IPROF-95, I take a very short break
from stretch drive to get some end-of-the-FY stuff done that has to
be done by COB tomorrow to say:

Ditto.

It is especially gratifying to see that something is happening without
the need for users to put in additional funds above and beyond the
support dollars they are already paying..

Back to end-of-FY panic....
