Wow Cornelius, Your Management translation is very slick, almost scary in fact. How'd know it that you're also a brilliant programmer :-)
When I need to hire a corporate sales force, I'm giving you a call! ----------- In addition, I'd like to add my non-technical reason (because management and decision-makers are typically non-tech): ~~ If your company's income (or web presence) depends on an application written in Tango (to any degree), then their investment is constantly depreciating at an exponential rate as the 4 year old (unsupported) platform it depends on gets older and older. By re-investing in an updated supported platform, then your company adds to and extends the value of their investment. ----------- Fortunately and unfortunately, many companies would rather inject money into supporting their investments, then pay more salaries. Good luck, and I hope this helps. Cheers....
