I can't believe that you didn't mention the really cool arcade machine in
reception[1] in the sales pitch. I think that most Perl Mongers would be
swayed by this as much as by anything else ;-)

Probably nothing, some cute graphic designers maybe? The technology is erm, pragmatic. Cheap-ass client sites get boshed out in Cold Fusion, the big sites whatever the 500lb gorilla says. This has been Websphere (boo!), Silverstream (boo!), Interwoven (boo!), Autonomy (yay!), Oracle (boo!), MySQL (yay-ish) and a few others.
