- I might add that there were some heated discussions at the annual user
- conference in D.C. this June about it. I had lunch with a couple of
- developers of VMB and happened to comment on the actual fix number
- that put this 1.1 check into the code. Got some funny looks from them.
- Our marketing rep told us it would take a "Major engineering effort"
- to fit VMB-classic to work on ESA 1.1 (So they define pulling one
- update a major engineering effort)... I wanted to scream liar at her
- but held my tongue.
