We have a very dedicated leader, Scott Draeker. I exagerate a bit. We're
actually in talks, nothing entirely definitive. I have no part of getting
the license, so I can't tell you how much arm twisting its taken to get this
far. Its more of a money and market issue, proving that the company has both
availible before they'll grant a license for a port.

Good, that narrows it down a bit.

Yah, the whole computer industry is going through changes, and its working
out that the ratio of technical people to non-technical people (though I
technically could be either) is about the same as in most business fields.
For every programmer, you need accountants, marketing gurus, support staff,
etc.

If those who need access to the web-site could email me off the list
(arc@dragon-isle.com) I will get you the account info ASAP.
