Again, it's not worth my time.  The upper management loves it.  They 
think it's "American".  thus, the lame apple pie flash animation.  I 
can't sell them something they don't want, and i'm not going to waste my 
time to attempt to convince them.

After all, I'm just the lowly 3rd shift network administrator... trying 
to make a living.
