The number of remaining hairs on my head is asymptotically
approaching zero. I will soon have to start work on my beard.
What is it with RBScript and why does RS look the other way and
pretend it doesn't exist? RBScript has been seriously flawed since
before RB5.5.5, with nasty bugs that all but preclude using it
seriously:

<http://www.realsoftware.com/feedback/viewreport.php?reportid=yptloqht>
<http://www.realsoftware.com/feedback/viewreport.php?reportid=zxlgehay>
and probably others that haven't bitten me personally yet. The first
one is a jaw-dropper (in that it's still present in RB2006r3).
However, with some user education, and some really bizarre code I can
work around those.
Now I find one that wasn't present in RB5.5.5, and which has has
stopped the port from RB5.5.5 to RB2006r3 (once again):

RS doesn't even seem to want to admit these bugs exist, and the
number of watchers is so low they can find other (presumably easier)
stuff to fix anyway. However, once again, I'm stuck with RB5.5.5 for
the foreseeable future.
So, _if_ you use RBScript in your applications, I urge you to add one
or more of the above to your watch list. I can't believe the number
of RBScript users is so low.
RS: if any/all of these fall into the QuickFix category, I might be
tempted to empty my wallet...
