[penguicon-general] anyone out there know....??

[Lady Sarah]

Ron,
You have found my opinion exactly; though I'm not 100% sure about the "use
it elsewhere" part, personally I'm voting on the whiny "we don't want to
rewrite all of our code to conform to your rules" variant right now.  I
would LOVE to tell him that, "hey, we'll just save your broker the $10/month
and turn this off now, ok?" but the powers above me are insisting to
researching this programming language and another point we're sticking on
before going that route.  I'm afraid I'm just not that patient.

Sarah
