Ah those 'appleheads' ... Oh! ... Hi Bob! ... Hi Garrett ;-)
Well, it would certainly be fun to try, (I think I would enjoy it!),
but I really doubt I could come up with a good enough case to make
it fly here:
(a) I do a fair amount of development work with a report writer
packaged called 'Brio'. I have a tough enough time getting IT support
on Windows ...
(b) That 'NIH' attitude. We're not real good about letting anybody, (employees/contractors/consultants coming in from out of town for a
one-day meeting), ... about letting *anybody* come in the door carrying
anything we don't make. [Yes, we actually have made consultants buy
new laptops in order to do business with us ... we're like that.]
