that's a great suggestion, don.

except maybe for the fact that
there _are_ no users, and there
is little evidence to believe that
there ever _will_ be any users...

again, roger built a nice machine,
but couldn't get volunteers for it...

and he's a dale-carniege person.

while none of you other guys have
enough charisma to fill a thimble.
