Hi, so we agree... also...
I've been looking at our download logs recently... This is interesting.
Almost every large company in the world uses REBOL, or at least, they
are curious about it. That list includes companies like ATT, IBM, Sony,
Philips, and many more.
Is it the "company" or a "REBOL individual" within the company. That
is impossible to tell and probably the latter. But, as the president
of Chrysler used to say, you sell cars one car at a time.
