Even computer programmers have to eat. Especially now when millions of
people have lost their jobs, we have to devote our time to projects that
generate revenue, or lose ours too. If some generous foundation funded
us to work on old platforms, that would be different, but foundations
don't have money either -- believe me, we've asked.

be my guest! That's how it used to work in the old days.
