I have a picture of a marketing guy with his back to the door of the
programming offices, bracing it shut, yelling things like, "Promise
them they can use real money!  With credit cards!  And get real
money back!  And there won't be any zones!"  And the programmers are
pounding to get out, yelling things like, "No!"  "Does he even know
that's not possible?"  "I haven't slept this week yet!"  "For the
love of god, no!" and making wails that sound like Wesley in The
Princess Bride.
