Well, I started to work on it once but this big scary Austrian looking
guy materialized in my office holding a machine gun, wagged his finger
at me, blew out my monitor, and then crashed out the side of the house.

A few hours later, another similar looking but somehow friendlier guy
carried a monitor in and hooked it up for me.  But, then he said "Vat is
dis?  Vindows?  Vat kind of girly man are you?", blew out the monitor,
the CPU, and all of my software CDs.

So, no way am I working on this feature.
